THE LOGS

=+=+=+=+= North American Stations/Relays =+=+=+=+=

AMPHETAMINE RADIO

10/3, 1326-1346*, 6925/U; Music then four SSTV images. Good signal to
1335, but then the quality deteriorated rapidly as conditions
tanked. (Drake R8 and MMSSTV, Hunsicker, PA)

BID, BURN IT DOWN RADIO:

10/2, 0034-0055+, 6960/U; SIO:343 Tunes by Don McClean, Eagles, Bob
Dylan, Elton John with occas. IDs by OM announcer. [Lobdell-MA}
10/2, 0046-0103*, 6960/U; S9+5 pirate music cuts to spoken comment
about going online to express opinions, cut off & back to music;
next check 0058 another spoken rant fragment, then hard rock;
0102 distorted hard rock, canned ID ``B-I-D Radio, Burn It Down``
& ``Thanks for listening, discovering the world, one frequency at
a time, good night`` & off just before 0103. Many other logs
here, all from further east, as far as the UK:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/inde ... 698.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK)
10/6, 0148, 6955/U; immediately upon tune-in, ``B-I-D Radio, Burn It
Down`` & music about S7. Have those who listen more to him found
programming from this rather incendiary name truly anarchic?
(Glenn Hauser, OK)

CAPTAIN MORGAN SW (p)

10/2, 0204, 6949.7/AM; JBA music on AM at S5. Three logs here say
Captain Morgan Shortwave was on 6950-AM at 0145-0210*:

Stone, Bang a Gong & Major John. SIO=252 w/whoosh & tone bursts
+ pesky? opening @2254 w/"test Test" & continued talking. (Frodge-MI)

INTERNATIONAL RADIO REPORT

10/5, 2347-2355*, 6950/AM; Caught the end of the relay. Signal "poor,"
maybe it BC ended before the program was complete? (25432,
Hunsicker, PA)

LIQUID RADIO

10/3, 0109, 6925.16/AM; very poor AM carrier, presumably Liquid Radio as
usual & logged as such by a few here between 0016 & 0137:

(Hassig-IL)
10/6, 0033-0038, 6770/AM; Jack Benny, Dennis Day & Rochester preceded

10/3, 2231-2317, 6873.5/AM; Lotsa blues with regular ID's. Although

choo, midnight train to Georgia, also songs by B B King, Elvis &
Johnny Cash, SSTV/FAX at 0144utc. Drake R8 and dipole. (Hassig-IL)
10/4, 0026, 6950/U; gospel singer at S9+35, what a signal for a pirate;
0029 cowboy song; 0034 Wolverine Radio ID, and continues for some
time but I have to keep bandscanning. Many more logs here from
0017 to 0145 showing Trains the topic, SSTV captures:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/inde ... 737.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK)
10/4, 0026+, 6950.00; w/music about trains. Included Last Train to

A-Comin & more. Excellent sound, quality signal & a great show.
(Sedlacek-NE)

XLR8

10/3, 0108, 6955/U; S9 pirate music, yet poor vs noise level, soft rock,
basically two notes looping, vamping. Periodic rechex such as 0125

COMMENTARIOS

John Sedlacek: Wolverine Radio is a station I truly find enjoyable
broadcast after broadcast. Wish one day one would be able to have
copies of his shows available for replay at home.
