Radio Clandestine 6955 AM 0003 UTC 31 Mar 2019
« on: March 31, 2019, 0006 UTC »
Gave ID and address, mentioned 'off the coast of North America'.  Missed ID, but got some of it recorded for later listening.  Audio is a bit muffled/overdriven.
0007 - Rod Stewart tune, "Sailing", S6 with some OTHR QRM
0010 - ID and 'off the North American coast' again (maybe Radio Grammophone??). Then "Blue Sky" Allman Bros.
0015 - comedy bit about leftovers, distorted audio, then a rapid fade to nothing. 

Listening to the recording, ID was Radio Clandestine

Radio Clandestine on 6955 am with a signal hitting S9 most of the time. Noise levels are dropping and the signal is getting better and better.

Last tunes were Alice Cooper and Clearance Clearwater Revival. Thanks for the broadcast.
