1720 khz Undercover Radio 0427 UTC 2/19/2012
« on: February 19, 2012, 0430 UTC »
Dr. Benway on 1710 khz with competition from an annoying new TIS station (also on 1710) from New Jersey that's muddying up the channel now.  It's a three-way between Undercover, the TIS, and Radio Celestial.  Sounds like the anniversary show from Undercover, but difficult to tell.  Thanks for the broadcast!

EDIT: Moved up to 1720 Khz now, much better signal without the QRM.  0440 UTC
