The Crystal Ship 6860 AM 0106 UTC 04 July 2018
« on: July 04, 2018, 0108 UTC »
ID @ 0108 after the National Anthem, S5 and good audio
0118 - "I Am A Patriot" Jackson Browne
0125 - ID and "Yankee Doodle"
0138 - "Volunteers" Jefferson Airplane
0140 - "This Land Is Your Land" Woody Guthrie [that was one of my mom's favorites]
0144 - ID
0212 - "Born In The USA" Bruce Springsteen
0217 - ID, then "For America" Jackson Browne
0249 - sounds like "Taps", much weaker now, then off

Thanks for the show.  Have a great 4th of July, Poet!

0108 music at the noise floor copied in Colorado.
0110 getting a little stronger, still not enough to make it out.
0112 strong enough now to recognize "Fly Like An Eagle" Steve Miller Band
0116 another song, not familiar with it and can't shazam it (signal still weak), but it sounds early 70s and folk-rockish.
0118 announcement, possibly station ID
0121 Stars And Stripes Forever (at the noise floor)
       0124 signal finally up enough to assign a SIO, a decent 222
0125 OM speaking, hard to understand, into Yankee Doodle Dandy
0126 Speech, sounds like JFK
       0135 signal is back in the mud. No longer sure it's JFK
0137 music

02.38 UTC male singer
02.43 UTC male singer
02.48 UTC male voice heard and trumpet fanfare
02.49 UTC sign off and carrier gone

I had the carrier on 6860,14 AM all the time from the start at 01.06 UTC
on my Perseus SDR recording, but audio was very low here, some traces first,
became better later, best at the end of the show,
but SINPO no better than 12221, sorry to tell.
Anyway, John, please eQSL to my addy! Thanks a lot in advance!
