Grizzly Bear Shortwave 6930 USB
« on: September 23, 2012, 0651 UTC »
9/23/12, 6930 USB, 0650z: Listening outdoors with portable, heard some blues, switched to fiddle music with Natalie MacMaster around 25 after the hour.  Grizzly Bear Shortwave ID at 0650z with email contact info.

Just fair here at home with portable, very good via western US web tuner.  SINPO 44423, very good peaks, some fades to barely audible for a few minutes at a time.  Also just barely audible via far eastern N. American web tuner (that usually gets only fair reception of any pirates).

Recorder catch:

6930 USB SIO 232-333

Fair to decent signal with some fading - actually did a quick scan & heard GBR in process on 6930, so parked the receiver & turned in for the night.  Nice selection of tunes!

05:10z-07:19z late night Grizzly Bear Shortwave show
