Undercover Radio 6920 USB
« on: April 21, 2012, 0336 UTC »
4/21/12, 6920 USB, 0333z: Dr. Benway with Undercover Radio ID, sounds live.  Good signal peaks, lots of fades here.
0338z: Shout outs to folks logging this broadcast.
0340z: Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows"
0359z: ID, "my first new show in four years".
0405z: Thanking listeners for patience in waiting for QSL cards.  Hey, Dr. Benway, I really appreciate the QSL package you sent for the 20th anniversary broadcast a few years ago.  I don't often ask for QSL cards and always appreciate those who send 'em - it's a lot of expense and effort.
0415z: Talking about listening to shortwave radio and "listening to Allan Weiner rant on about 'real' pirates...".
0433z: Said conditions were too rough for AM tonight, checking signal reports for requests.
0445z: Sounds like Dr. Benway switched back to USB after brief try on LSB.
0520z: Talking about Bill Of Rights, 2nd Amendment, personal privacy.  Signal much stronger via east coast tuner now, still occasionally audible here at home.  Reference to William Cooper (he really could spin great yarns weaving together strands of various tenuous threads from mythology, religion, history, mysticism, and current events).

Switched from my local Palstar and indoor antenna to east coast web tuner around 0350z, huge signal.  Unfortunately 6920 and a big AM signal on 6925 are nut to butt now (QRM cleared up by around 0400z).

Sounding very good while tuning up on 6920u, touting "first new show in four years".  Looking forward to the show tonight!

0356 UTC:  Getting some interference from nearby 6925am, sounds like Captain Morgan up 5 khz

Wow! extremely loud tonight Dr. Benway. +20 dB over S9 on the Icom/dipole shack radio. You are easily picked up on my Sony ICF-SW7600GR with only the telescoping antenna. Thanks for the new show.

I also received both QSLs in the mail today - thanks!

Pretty good signal into Northern Canada. About S-3 with QSB. Great to hear this freq being utilized.

** Update: A shout out to ME at 0532! Thanks, Doc!

Thunder storms rolled thru and delayed my listening activity but only missed the first couple of minutes.
Very solid S9 copy despite the lightning crashes.

Very nice copy on the SDR recording. Shout out to Lex. Dr Benway said he wanted to use AM, but the band conditions were too rough. "Get ready for a brand new show"
