Field notes from outdoor walk with portable radio and telescoping whip, between rain from regional t-storms. No IDs heard for any. Fair to good signals, peaking between 0030-0050 UTC with some fading, lots of noise from regional t-storms, some RFI. Listening via Panasonic portable from under a highway bridge, sheltered from rain, trying to avoid heavy RFI at my apartment.
Sunday August 21-Monday 22 Aug, 2022
0000UTC, 7 PM local
Bluesy guitar, sounds like concert. Barely audible over noise.
22 Aug 22
0007z - Sounds like Joe Bonamassa version of ZZ Top Just Got Paid
0016z signal improving here over increasing noise, t-storms and flickering RFI
0025z SSTV
0026z Joe Bonamassa again
0017z "CQ 17" a bit louder and slightly off frequency
0020z QRM music and voice slightly above 6915, stronger signal. Maybe 6917, odd sounding fx
Reportedly Thunder Chicken Radio on 6915, no ID heard here.
***
6920 (presumably USB, no way to tell on this portable with BFO tuner for sideband)
0027z 6920 music, good signal, hard to tune with portable radio BFO
0040z female computer voice shout out to HFU listeners by name Ray, My T Quinn, others, "What would you like to hear?"
0050z Doors "Summer's Almost Gone" for Skipmunk, "Wishful, Sinful," ended song early, Mountain "Mississippi Queen" booming signal, almost overloading my portable. Sounded like op was using computer voice to respond to HFU loggers.
***
6925
0033z music not quite as strong as 6920, better audio, less distortion
Presumably moved up to 6926
While walking home so no other notes for time, Nirvana "Come As You Are," Linda Ronstadt "Long, Long Time". Strong signal, sudden fade as local conditions changed at dusk, t-storms rolling in.
