Hams Behaving Badly 7200 LSB 0259 UT 15 MAR
« on: March 15, 2026, 2319 UTC »
24 minutes or so with music, almost country, and a voice occasionally growling or grumbling over it -- unsure if is intention interference or not

20260315_0259_UT_7200_khz_LSB_North_America_Unid.mp4

Also reported, presumably, at 0600 UT by a fellow DXer in California via a remote in Arizona. My reception was direct
