Radio True North 6950 AM 0219 UTC 28Feb15
« on: February 28, 2015, 0221 UTC »
Have been noting an S8 carrier w/out audio here for a while.  Very quick periodic fades.

0220 Possibly hearing mx with a thump
0224 OM talk, but can't get any detail
0253 hearing what sounded like RTN's voice until a pesc came up in the LSB
0256 pretty sure I heard the ID, then back to the mx
0302 Sounds like "Black Betty"
0309 solid ID

Great to hear you, RTN; audio is impressive as always on the few signal peaks there have been tonight!

Catching it here also with a S7-8 and lots of fading. Heard "This Is Radio Free ?????" at 0228. Caught ID at 0234 as Radio True North. Free Radio on Shortwave. REM at 0239. Funky Drummer by James Brown at 0248. Hungry Like A Wolf by Duran Duran at 0258. Thanks for the show RTN, too bad it wasn't coming in better. :-\
Thanks for the Van Halen request shoutout and thanks for playing Why Can't This Be Love! ;D

Radio True North, 6950 AM, 0145, 2.28.15.  ID, song, some talk (couldn't quite make it out), another lively song.

Fair with fading.  Decent on peaks
