Radio Appalachia 6974.7 AM 2357 UTC 28 Mar 2025
« on: March 28, 2025, 2357 UTC »
2357: bluegrass music, Kentucky Mandolin (Live) Bill Monroe and Doc Watson

From Charlie_Dont_Surf:
"Jeebus, DK. I saw the carrier go up on the waterfall and the microsecond the music started, I logged into HFU and started a thread (typing very fast) and you still beat me to it."

I'm probably closer to the station, so I heard it sooner. :)

Jeebus, DK. I saw the carrier go up on the waterfall and the microsecond the music started, I logged into HFU and started a thread (typing very fast) and you still beat me to it.

2357 - Fiddle music on 6974.6 KHz.
0004 - Drifted down to 6974.57 or so.
0009 - 6974.54 or so. SINPO 34343 with QRN on an SDR in NY State.
0011 - Beverly Hillbillies Theme
0013 - Missed most of the ID due to QRN but got "From the banks of the Ohio (River).....Radio Appalachia, the free voice of West Virginia, from (something), West Virginia...."
0101 - Gone when I checked back.

0022  Vocals by different man and woman singers and groups.  Sounds like Bluegrass.

S7, but quite noisy making the signal difficult.

Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com
