WTWW 5085 broadcasting at 1530 UTC
« on: January 12, 2021, 1532 UTC »
Well past their listed sign off time of 1100 UTC, I'm hearing "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen. Interesting because a pirate was playing Queen songs including this one yesterday, plus the late time of day for a 60m broadcast.

EDIT: copy at 1532: https://youtu.be/G90vX_cli6U

Station ID heard at 1534.

2nd EDIT: Hearing "I'm So Excited" Pointer Sisters at 1624. It's rough but it's still there.

Listening here on and off all day.  When I got up, discovered I'd left the radio on all night and it happened to be on 5085 .. Reception is not quite as good during the day.    picking up a little in the last hour.
Not too long ago I heard them in the morning but went off around noon and was sure they would cut out then

I've been checking the frequency off and on and they seem to have been on all day.

The broadcast has been rock solid since +/- 13:00 UTC (8+ hours). I even enjoyed it on my afternoon walk using my BELKA-DX receiver. Listening from Toronto, ON Canada.
