Undercover Radio 6925USB 0137z
« on: May 21, 2012, 0141 UTC »
21 May 2012

Hearing Dr. Benway in informal talk, possibly a test?
Mixed in with the noise from t'storms which just passed through.

0145 Playing a piece about personal freedoms.
0159 If I heard him correctly, he ment that "he was just trying to get a show together"; using a laptop mike?  (Really horrendous QRN tonight)
0206 Unid instr'l music; signal has picked up about 10dB here!
0220 Diving in the Solomon Islands
0240 ID, wrap up
0243 off
0243:30 Back on with "Funniest shit; I had the power turned all the way down!"  --  Much better here now!

Thanks Dr. Benway!

I'm not sure if that's Dr. Benway and Undercover Radio playing Laurie Anderson or not. I heard him say he was signing off about 20 minutes ago and came back to the radio to hear this around 0355

Yup, that's him. Still going strong at 0420. Thanks for the show, Doctor!

Frequency: 6925MHz

SINPO: 34333@0404UTC trending to 44344@0430UTC

Content:

Commentary on right to bare arms, personal freedoms, etc.

Local conditions seem a little better than last night, but I am still dealing with a moderately high local noise floor tonight.

Anyway, excellent show as usual, Dr. B! :)
