Radio Totse 6925 USB 0849 UTC 22 Oct 2013
« on: October 22, 2013, 0936 UTC »
0937 Hearing some faint music on 6925. I'll need to check the SDR recording, but Radio Totse is a possibility?
Some QRM from pescadores.

Music first noted on the SDR recording at 0849, so I'll use that as the start time. Last heard for sure around 1050z.

There was SSTV at 0918 on the SDR recording, Scottie DX mode:

Weak with fading & noisy conditions - can hear 'em floating in & out of the static.

There was another SSTV transmission at 1007z. About the same reception quality as the previous one.

I still have music at 1144z.

Very nice SSTV copy at 1156z, with music following it. Best reception of the morning (greyline enhancement), although now it seems to be fading out, with the rising Sun.
