Turtle Head Radio
« on: May 11, 2012, 0352 UTC »
I've got music on 6925. Tunes in best for me on USB, but it could be AM, not positive. It's not very strong here and the static is considerable.

Caught a Turtle Head Radio ID around 0353 or so. Always good to hear the Colonel.

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 333-433

Good signal & sideband audio with little fade.  Seems like this time of the night has pretty good conditions.
