Radio Free ? 6970 AM 0020 UTC 28 OCT 2024
« on: October 28, 2024, 0021 UTC »
0020 UTC Hearing some thumping electronica music (S8 peaks with light fades...decent audio)
0028 UTC An OM spoke over the music but all I caught was "Radio Free ?"
0029 UTC Silent pause...peskies noted at this time on LSB
0030 UTC Some percussion now
0036 UTC OM again with ID (missed it again) and mention of "6970 kilohertz", followed by a droning bit of music with thumping beat (Some QRM that sounds like RTTY in the background)
0104 UTC OFF

SINPO=43333, quite strong and clear here.

026- "This Place Is Empty Without You" by Tigerskin.
028- OM says something over music, about "international shortwave," but some QRM and the low audio made it impossible to copy.
029- Silent. Paused or off?
030- Back with drum beats. Then "Take Me Away" by Mix Factory.

SDR recording catch, I heard both the 0020-0104 and 0255-0304 transmissions. Several partial IDs as well as mentions of 6970 kHz, but I never could pull out a full ID.
