KIPM Relay 6955 AM then USB 0125 UTC 14 Feb 2021
« on: February 14, 2021, 0127 UTC »
0125 UTC OM speaking, into "Venus In Fear"-Cradle of Filth (OM may have been part of the song)
Is this a KIPM relay?
(Signal is S5 with lots of selective fading....spooky!)
0143 UTC Off or sudden fade out?
0144 Back on now  :)
0217 UTC Still listening here....somewhat difficult copy with the flutter fading over the last half hour
0220 UTC OFF now after a closing announcement

Thanks for the spooky Saturday night show KIPM(or maybe KIPM relayer?)  8)

This one's audible at times in USB mode here near Seattle. But it's very good via the Northern Utah SDR ...

0207 UTC: Monologue/story with backing music. I assume this is an Alan Maxwell recording?
0220 UTC: Off?
0221 UTC: Nope - back on with distorted talking and sounds opening to "Alan Maxwell's Theater of the Mind." Now in USB, I think.
0231 UTC: After another extended opening sequence, Alan Maxwell telling another story, this one about a monster in a cellar.

Tuned in at 0236utc, fair/poor signal, hear dramatic music with Allan Maxwell narrating an eerie story, I remember him from decades ago when there was less static and conditions were much better, at 0244 Theremin music and wolf howling,
