Via NA5B in D.C. area ... no sign of this signal out west here when I've checked.

2355 UTC: Fair signal with techno music with sound clip of woman talking about being right/wrong into the remix of "Rocket Man" by Elton John. Is this you, Radio Free Mars?
2358 UTC: OM talking over the music (fuzzy mic) with Radio Free Mars ID and other chat.
0001 UTC: Sound clip again ... skit about Alcoholics Anonymous over music.
0004 UTC: Remix of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab." The whole signal sounds a bit overmodulated, but that might just be the SDR I'm tuned into.
0008 UTC: Same sound clip that played around 2355 UTC, then "Red Planet (DJ Wag Mix)" by Avatar for a minute.
0010 UTC: "Parents Against Online Defamation" interview skit.
0013 UTC: Back into the "Red Planet" remix.
0014 UTC: Robot-voiced "Radio Free Mars" IDs over music, then OM chatting on the mic. A bit hard to hear him. "No commercials, no sponsors and no guarantees," he said at one point.
0016 UTC: Off now.

SINPO=23121

002- Old radio spot with man and woman talking and some music.
004- Upbeat song with strong repeating baseline and beat.
006- Laser effects over the music, song continues.
008- Woman talking and effects; sounds like another old radio spot.
009- Upbeat song with strong beat.
010- OM talking, mentioning "everyone out there," then woman speaking too. Signal rising out of the QRN but hard to make out as over-modulated or otherwise muffled audio.
013- Upbeat song with strong repeating baseline and beat. House music or techno sound to it.
015- Different music with OM talking to the music.
015- Silence.
016- Carrier off.

Tuned in at 0009, barely hear SSTV/FAX, then nothing under noise
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
