Rock-It Radio relay 6872.6 AM 1807 UTC 18 Dec 2021
« on: December 18, 2021, 1809 UTC »
1807 UTC OM with ID and chat...mention of Rocket Radio, but signal is fair copy in the noise
1809 UTC Music
1812 UTC OM chat, into an unid C&W song with YL? singer...lyrics "I'm So Lonely I Could Die"
1815 UTC Different song now (Mostly in the noise)
1832 UTC Signal faded back in with unid early rock tune
1833 UTC OM IDing the next song by the Falcons, into an early Doo Wop tune
1835 UTC OM DJ chat with ID
(Gotta run an errand....will leave the recorder running)
Listened back on the recording....signal dropped out quite a bit after 1839 UTC. Some peaks after that including the DJ giving a postal address in Ventura, Ca and an aol email addy before QRT at 1905 UTC


Thanks for the show! Love the early rock-n-roll!
Here's a link to 7 minutes of the show when reception was mostly above the noise:

1817  Unusable in Wyomissing.  I can hear the music and what I believe an OM in the role of announcer, but I cannot understand a word.  Noise is at about minus 113 dB and the carrier is about minus 100 to 105 dB.  Just too weak.
