Dick Weed:
We should call this station "Energizer Bunny Radio" cuz it keeps going and going and going and going.....
ChrisSmolinski:
Still going at 1200z on 28 May 2014. News at the top of the hour and then back into EZ Listening style music.
I think this has been on non stop for a few days now. I can't see this being a pirate, although I am not sure what it is, perhaps a .mil contractor having fun?
ChrisLobdell:
I remember about 10 years ago, a station on 6250 or so would appear, rebroadcasting a local FM station. I heard them once around sunset for about 20 minutes before fading out. The FCC tracked the guy down. He was using 6250 to transmit the FM station from his house to his work shed in the back yard, or something similar. Not sure of the wattage but it was low.
I'm wondering if this could be something similar?

That certainly seems possible. FWIW reception has not been as good the last day or two, as it previously was.
Right now, 1813z, I have a very weak signal, mostly just a carrier in fact. It was stronger earlier today.
1857z update: I have instrumental music now, but still fairly weak.

Here in Pennsylvania from 0040 to 0105 UTC on the 26th I could get a halfway decent signal, but now I can only get a weak carrier.
