Listening via the SDR in Fork Union, Virginia, which is receiving an S5 to S7+ signal with decent audio ...

0252 UTC: Eerie music and sounds.
0255 UTC: Sounds like a chiming church bell in the mix of sounds now.
0259 UTC: Repeating keyboard riff rising in the mix.
0302 UTC: Creepy, low male announcer: "We are now ceasing operation of the Black Mountain Transmitter." That was followed by more eerie sounds.
0303 UTC: Long tone, then off.

Thanks for the broadcast! Please eQSL if you can!

Listening from the N1NTE-4 KiwiSDR on the MA/CT Border
Signal is very strong, solid 9 out of 10


0229 {Noticed the signal as soon as ballsmacker left the air}
0229 [Station ID] "You are receiving a signal from the Black Mountain Transmitter"
0229 Random sound patterns
0245 [Station ID] "You are receiving a signal from the Black Mountain Transmitter"
0245 Random sound patterns continue
0302 "We are now ceasing operations of the Black Mountain Transmitter"
0303 A Jumbled up kind of noise and then a tone for a 10 to 20 seconds, like someone just pulled the plug on a patient and the heart monitor flat-lines, then transmission ended.


Please send an eQSL to [email protected] and thank you for the show.
