Shortwave Service 9900 AM 1212 UTC 1/21/17
« on: January 21, 2017, 1209 UTC »
Faint.....shortwave.info does not list a broadcaster for this frequency at this time.

1209z YL talking and music just over noise
1215z OM talking but cannot understand
1218z YL singer but can't make out song over noise.
1221z Reception stronger but not fully audible - last two songs blues/c&w?

Skipmunk - it could be, I was thinking it might be something across Pacific based on earlier gets this morning.  Feel free to move, not sure I know how.

1229 UTC Shazam says "Dial My Number"-Pauli Carman
1232 UTC YL with ID....I could make out the words "Test transmission"  :)

1237 UTC YL with clear mention of "Shortwave Service"
(Signal is getting weaker here....mostly at threshold)
