Pop Shop Radio (via Channel292) 9670 AM-SSTV 1754 UTC 18 FEB 2026

[mathhead]

At 1854 UTC some kind of modem handshake cycling through three notes D -> B -> G ->...... . Then DRM but unlike RRI which is just a squarish plug, it consisted of a strong carrier with two smaller squarish plugs - one on either side. Then a row of spikes, before AM. A Canadian voice says 'For a Pop Shop radio QSL send your reception reports to radiopopshop@gmail.com. Radio Pop Shop is made in the town of Hope in the super natural British Columbia, and it's a ?? production. Sending peace and love out to all nations. Then a disco music vamp before 'Timothy' by The Buoys.

"Then DRM but unlike RRI which is just a squarish plug, it consisted of a strong carrier with two smaller squarish plugs - one on either side. "
>> not DRM, just SSTV : a still image is encoded in an audio signal, and then that audio signal is used to modulate the RF signal in AM mode, so the spikes on both sides of the carrier.

>> I don't know for the playlist (see the reply from prldx, below), but that's surely also encoded as a pseudo audio signal, so it can be transmitted on any transmitter designed to transmit an audio signal.

Sorry I'm new. Perhaps I could run it past someone more experienced? That way I'd know what is worth saying. Martin

Hi Martin,

Popshop Radio is usually transmitting shortly before the end of the programme a playlist and a picture in MFSK-mode. This is most likely what you received.
