FM 88 Cable Radio 6940 USB was LSB 2121 UTC 27 OCT 2024

2121 Just signed on directly into music. SIO 555. 

Off frequency / distorted? Some over modulation at times also I think.

2147 Now on USB.

SINPO=34343

2123- Music with sound effects, but distorted, so can't ID it. Tones too, plus skipping around. Maybe a musical jingle in there too?

Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com
