Damn Skippy 6950 USB 0010 UTC 16 MAR 2020
« on: March 16, 2020, 0013 UTC »
Was checking to see if I could copy Captain Morgan and found this station instead. Reports show that Captain Morgan went QRT a few minutes before this time. Blues music, fair to good signal at my QTH. Thanks for the show!
0025 "Damn Skippy" SSTV sent (got only a partial decode due to incorrectly setup SSTV reception but got enough for the ID)
0027 more blues
0118 "Overkill" Motorhead (was out getting dinner but kept the show playing, found a bunch of b/w 8 SSTV images of various HFU avatars, thanks for that!)
0120 "Killed By Death" Motorhead
0125 SSTV (getting some static crashes)


0126 SSTV


0127 Some hard rock version of "Stayin' Alive"
0130 "Happy Trails" Van Halen
0131 "Intruder/Pretty Woman" Van Halen
0132 suddenly became "And the Cradle Will Rock" Van Halen for a few seconds
0133 silence
0136 music is back, "Jet Airliner" Steve Miller Band, but much weaker than it was before
0140 Outer Limits intro, perhaps a relay of KIPM is beginning?
0141 nope, now playing a Led Zep song
0142 silence

SINPO: 44444 via Uniontown PA sdr

Assume this is a different station than Captain Morgan Shortwave playing the blues in USB mode.

0013 - blues music


Thanks for the broadcast and show.

6950.0 USB.  Blues, Captain Morgan typical music, except ... SSTV - "Damn Skippy" then back to blues.

S6 excellent signal.

Good blues
