Sternradio 6960 AM 1719 UTC 8 JUL 2025
« on: July 08, 2025, 1720 UTC »
I'm guessing on frequency a lot of atmospheric noise, music sneaking above noise floor on peaks.  Maybe Stern?
1719 Hard rock
1726 Music continues, Shazam barely pulled out "Satanized" Ghost after numerous attempts dealing with noise
1742 "Pretty" Verona on Venus, big jump up on reception
1750 OM speaks, I think smoking transmitter phrasing - very noisy again

1722 Nothing here on 6963, I do have a very very weak carrier on 6960.
1731 Occasional music.
1804 Better now, still a weak signal, but continuous music.

Band really just sort of opened up there.  Was watching on one of the HFU SDRs and it just ripped up out of nowhere.  Same TX power levels.  I guess we're walking the line of the LUF this afternoon. That's the Sternradio propagation 43m propagation report for the afternoon! ;)
