4/14/12, 6925 USB, 0230z: Johnny Cash "Sunday Morning Coming Down", Red Mercury Labs ID, "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison"
0240z: Red Mercury Labs live on mic, shout out to me (thanky kindly), checking logs, playing more tunes from The Man In Black.
0247z: ID, shout outs to various listeners from California to Wisconsin.
0253z: "Jackson".  Just watched "Walk the Line" again the other night.  Good movie but Reese didn't quite capture June's gutsy, sassy humor.
0300z: "Boy Named Sue", and Johnny building that Caddy one piece at a time.  That's how how pirate radio was built, which explains why it works so perfectly well without a hitch and is a ginormous love fest.
0305z: Spinning "Ring of Fire" one more once for Bender.
0317z: ABANDON SHIP!!! SS RED MERCURY LABS ON FIRE!!!  Hearing some DTMF tone beeps during Doors "Light My Fire"
0327z: RML ID - still some occasional tone beep jamming, but Red Mercury generally stronger.  It's like the best of pirate radio and 14313 USB hamtrolls rolled into one.
0400z: RML ID, mentioned signal reports from WEAK and Dr. Benway.  "Captain Ron has sent us a ship to ship communication!"
0415z: Doors "Peace Frog" and "Love Street", strong enough peaks to ID familiar songs, but deeper fades now since 0400z.
0431z: "Love Her Madly", shout out to Sealord.
0434z: Tom Petty & Heartbreakers "American Girl".  It puts the lotion on its skin.

Good signal and audio through fairly heavy regional static crashes, not too much RFI tonight.  S7 peaks over S1-S2 noise.
Sudden propagation shift after 0400z, deeper fades to inaudible, peaks only around S3.

[jFarley]

Nice solid S7 signal.

0224 Sign on and right into J Cash "Ring of Fire", "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
0230 ID, "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues"
0245 Many shouts (thanks RML!), got a hankerin' for cheese curds and Johnny Cash tonight
0300 "One Piece At a Time" (never heard this before; great song!), "Ring of Fire" redux

0400 Shouts, "Touch Me", "Roadhouse" (Jack Daniels here, please); the jammer is now singing

Red Mercury Labs coming into central SK decently tonight.

Station ID, and request of "Ring of Fire" played again at 0305z. Quite good copy, though strength is only S5-S7. Not too noisy up this way tonight.

Getting some intentional QRM here now at 0322z.

Crud, just realized I'd been recording RF data, not audio data. Starting recording over, though if anyone has SpectraVue and wants to download 350MB, let me know.

Fading getting quite bad now around 0430z.

Somewhat off frequency recording (sorry) up at http://www.unixgeeks.ca/audio/. Still working out a few bugs on the recording system.
