Authentic radio static recorded from WebSDR of University of Twente in Netherlands, USB mode at frequency 21.270 MHz.

The recording consists of various interference events, including chirp, atmospheric interference (distant storms), and ham radio operators calling in. Perfect for usage as a radio static noise.

I've cut out dead sound caused by my sound card dropouts, and trimmed the sound to be 15 minutes long. Perfectly loopable.
