UNID noises on 6945 USB 8/14/14 0048z
RCCI:
01:57 - Just tuned in... Space / science fiction type music S9 signal.. Interesting, but doesn't make a lot of sense though...
blw:
I've heard this before. It's spooky background music looping, mostly an organ with lots of vibrato, or reverb fading in and out. Kinda part of the pirate radio bands I guess.
Antennae:
I hear it pretty good. It sounds like undulating old computer sound effects.
Antennae:
I didn't see the part about the organ. Could it be a leslie sound effect? I had an organ with that effect.
Token:
This signal went off-air at 0245 UTC. It might have been the oddity station known as XM / Whales / Backwards Music. However normally this station does not have such well defined audio edges. The signal was 2.8 kHz wide, with a sharp bottom edge at 300 Hz (assuming 6945 kHz as tuned frequency), this is pretty typical of communications SSB transmitters. So it could have been someone wanting to sound like XM.
Tentatively, and because 6945 kHz USB is a known US Navy / USCG frequency and XM is suspected of sometimes being US Navy in origin, I would say probably XM or related phenomena.
