very faint

2330z Getting bits and pieces of music, not something that OTR would play.  Barely making out OM talking.

He may have been testing. I picked up very nice mid-70's Sony portable cassette player/recorder at a yard sale. I used in the field for years as it had a line output. It had a Jimmy Swaggart tape in it when I bought it. I used Jimmy's rants for tuning up and testing for years.

My guess is a lot of weird little snippets of music and programming you hear from time to time is the same thing, checking the audio chain before a tx or comparing antenna set-ups.

I just tuned in to it at 0251utc, poor sig but I hear some audio, a male singing. R-2000 & dipole.
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
