S8 AM with fairly good audio. Sounds like the Supremes. Agreed my freq. set at 6956.5. Music off at 0200. no ID. :-\ Back on at 0210: S6 below noise. No audio heard. 0237: up to S7-S8 again some radio comedy show. Most of the dialogue at or just above noise. Freq: 6955 AM. Must be late 1950s: Shake, Rattle & Roll. Off again at 0250.

Re: UNID (B Side Radio?) 6955v AM 0149 UTC 4 JAN 2023
« Reply #5 on: January 04, 2023, 0226 UTC »
Exact frequency was 6955.33 kHz but drifting a ton. S9 with the KFS Omni KiwiSDR but low modulation. Also S9 on the Northern Utah KiwiSDR. Only a weak carrier on the Raleigh, BC KiwiSDR.

0225 UTC-Old comedy program about the BBC?
0230 UTC-Unknown Music
0233 UTC-Comedy program continues, frequency still going down
0251 UTC-Program over
0251 UTC-OFF

0326 UTC-Back on by now with music
0344 UTC-OFF with no ID
0345 UTC-Bud Bigley of B Side Radio now on the frequency, testing and counting in Spanish and English (no station name given but I recognize the voice)
0348 UTC-B Side Radio now OFF

I am not sure if B Side Radio was the station playing the music, but I don't think so. Unfortunately I only got an audio recording from 0326 UTC onwards so I cannot look to see if the signals looked like the same TX on the waterfall.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

music then a skit right at the static floor.  0241 - "Shake, Rattle and Roll" came up.  faded back down with more skit - only an occasional word audible.

Signal drifted down to 6954.8, then back up to 6955.0 at one point.

Started at S4, now S5 - 6, then back down to the static floor.

Gone at 0252.

Back about 0307 with Gracie Fields - didn't get the name of the first, "Three Coins in the Fountain".

Better than last at S5.

A faint bit of music is the only thing that I've managed to pick up so far. But, I feel that this is a honest log at the moment.It's frustrating to not be getting more to report.

Yep, that's a Supremes song, specifically "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me". My sister and her friends were obsessed with them. If you've never seen a bunch of White pre-teen girls singing into hairbrushes pretending to be Black grown women, you've missed out on one of the funnier things in life.

"Shake, Rattle and Roll"? The original Big Joe Turner release or the later Bill Haley cover?

Superb reception into Masset with As Time Goes By by Gracie Fields (03:16 UTC).  Very nice programming!   
     Somewhere to 03:20
     Always You (from 03:21).   Again by Gracie Fields.
     Now is the Hour  03:25

Oops!, the record kept skipping at 03:36:15!   The last few minutes, reception has significantly deteriorated.  Still very acceptable, though!

Off at 03:45      Thanks for the nice program.  Oops again, back a few seconds later.  Heavily accented counting.  Ola, ola.  One, two ,three, etc.  Same op, or someone else?
QSL always appreciated!    Walt

0340 UTC: Very weak signal can just make out a man talking and back into music. Music has that operatic 30's/40's feel to it.

S-10 signal on the Northern Utah Kiwi. A sprinkling of SSB qrm. A woman singing the old Billy Eckstein classic "If I Didn't Care". (If you ever watched "Sanford & Son" you heard Red Foxx sing it while puttering around the house.) A song or so after that my connection to the SDR went "poof". Mostly female torch singers up until then. The modulation was a tad low for a big carrier like that.
