Undercover Radio
6925U/L/MA 5/21 0100-0127 Tried all three modes to get a better read this evening on the signal. ID'd at 0116 as "Undercover Radio, this is our third show." Mentioned e-mail and Merlin address. Talk by Dr. Benway and Professor Burrows. Also ID'd at 0127 as "This is Undercover Radio from the middle of nowhere." Voice copy difficult, due to unsteady modulation and AC hum. SIO=352.

e-mailed me back that he found a loose connection on his equipment.
