Radio Ga-Ga w/ Lady Gaga song "Pokerface"
« on: September 02, 2009, 0703 UTC »
8/31/09, 6925 USB, 2300z: "Pokerface" Lady Gaga.
2312z: Radio Ga-Ga ID
2317z: Hearing "Gaaa-Gaaa" occasionally, but local noise way up now, music barely audible.
SINPO - 22311 (N. Central TX)
Short mp3 with Pokerface just barely audible: http://www.mediafire.com/?w4meoeynowd

Okay, I'll confess... I dared the op for Radio Ga-Ga to play this!  Seemed fitting.  Lady Gaga and Radio Ga-Ga both took that moniker from Queen's song "Radio Ga Ga".  The circle is complete.

Radio Ga-Ga reprise later that night, much better signal:
9/1/09, 6925 USB
0334z: Sarah McLachlan "Angel", audio started out a bit overdriven but adjusted to less distortion.
0339z: Edward R. Murrow monologue
0341z: Radio Ga-Ga ID, into "Dream Weaver" http://www.mediafire.com/?nwqnd4jgm2w

0349z: Radio Ga-Ga ID after Kansas "Carry on Wayward Son"
0350z: Mamas and Papas "Monday, Monday" - some fluctuation in audio levels
0351z: Closing ID "This is Radio Ga-Ga, thanks for tuning in." http://www.mediafire.com/?4tmty0ymw2g

SINPO - 24323, not strong but easy to copy due to lower noise levels now.
(N. Central TX - R30C w/ indoor fugloop)
That li'l ol' DXer from Texas
Unpleasant Frequencies Crew
Al: Palstar R30C & various antennae
Snoopy: Sony ICF-2010
Roger: Magnavox D2935
(Off-air recordings.)
