Logged this station here in northern NJ tonight, which included the Abbot and Costello Show, with baseball comedy about Bob Feller and then the classic "Who's On First." In between were ads for New Orleans Jazz Week and Camel cigarettes. The Mel Blank Show followed at 0236. Good signal tonight, despite static bursts.

Sent a reception report to the address previously posted by DJ Dickweed.

73's,

On a side note...I find it almost difficult to believe an overseas Netherlands pirate can come booming in like this almost the entire day without enormous power. I actually thought I must be within that "umbrella" near the transmitter zone that can hear it all the time even when the band goes long. That's not to say I think Echo 1 is staging a hoax...I just don't know what to believe. Seems this station almost defies physics but then again I know very little about the science of propagation on 6.772. What do you think?

Hi,

Heard in Western Europe at 0220 UTC (on Friday 30th May UTC) :
station on 6771.4 kHz (maybe + - 0.2) in AM mode
with splashes from Stanag on 6767 approx and some voice traffic QRM
It was a talk programme, partly with two voices, not good enough to understand about what.
02.26 : song
02.28 : annt "...short wave, Radio ..."
02.29 : talking again
then the signal got worse and I was awayt from 02.35 till 02.59
02.59 : music
03.00 : annt with a P.O. Box address, then junior(?) voice
03.03 : woman voice, but under noise

Could this be your mystery station ?

Ray

I think it would require the same violation of the laws of physics to allow a 10 watt grenade transmitter in Montana to be heard on the east coast during the summer at high noon.

About an S6/S7 at 1229z on 6771.4.
