UNID 6885 FM 0025 UTC 30 JUN 2026

0025: sporadic music, mostly just a "carrier" signal, rare to hear FM here; mostly a low hum heard
0027: the "pilot" signal is gone; maybe they will return; signal was very strong
- this or a very similar signal has been seen around ~43M a few times over the last few months

QSL to [email protected] would be greatly appreciated!
SDRplay RSP2/RSPdx  w/SDRuno or SDRconnect SW ; N-S 43M Dipole /  Disclaimer: Shazam/Sound-Hound used to ID many songs.

Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

SDR recording catch

0000 Carrier came on, no modulation
0020 A few seconds of "All Star"
0024 Same
0027 Off

The audio wasn't too bad, FM is tough on HF, but the signal was strong enough that it actually worked this time  :)
