« on: October 13, 2012, 0159 UTC »
S6 over S4 noise; a little fady still, but really nice in occas peaks

0143 Opening with long instrl dance track
0156 OM tx - pretty sure I heard an RTN ID during a fade down
0157 back to the music
0222 RHCP - "City of Angels" sounding good here

0340 Re-check, and sig has built nicely, but approaching storms now really noisy here.

Thanks for the show RTN.  Gonna go do some 60M....

Carrier up at 0141z. Extremely weak at first, some audio starting around 0200z. Much better by around 0245z.

Recorder catch (sort of):

6925 AM SIO 323

Good signal busting through the noise with some fading from 03:00z-03:30z - looks like Radio True North signed on at 01:43z and ran to 07:15z when they signed off.  Also noticed a het that came on underneath RTN from 01:47z-02:01z.

Audio (03:00z-03:14z): http://archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadioCont/RadioTrueNorthAm0300z-0314z10-13-12.mp3

Thanks RTN! :)
