UNID 6950 USB 1552 UTC 21 Aug 2017
« on: August 21, 2017, 1554 UTC »
UNID pirate station 21 AUG 2017
Frequency: 6950 kHz / 6.950 MHz
Mode: USB

In line with several other "eclipse themed" stations...

Hearing spaced out music on 6950 USB, S2-S3 with some minor fades...although those could be part of the music.

Sonar-like pings at 1553 UTC.  Sounds like Pink Floyd to me!  Yep, its Echoes (Part I) from Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii if my PF memory serves me correctly  ;D

S4-S5 signal at 1600 UTC, signal is around 3.2 kHz wide, SIO 333

At 1604 UTC, somebody changed something on their equalizer, before the audio was really heavy on the high side and attenuated on the lower end, now it seems more flat  

1606 UTC - a couple really deep fades into the noise as "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" starts
1607 UTC - back up to nearly the previous signal strength, S4 peaks but good audio
1620 UTC - "A Saucerful of Secrets" ending...
1622 UTC - "One Of These Days (I'm Going To Cut You Into Little Pieces)" - signal jumped back up to S5, peaking at S6 now
1625 UTC - signal dropped down a bit (S3 now) but still readable with little noise
1627 UTC - "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" starting
1640 UTC - signal back up to S5 with the beginning of "Echoes Part II"
1646 UTC - down slightly (back to S3) for the vocal part of Echoes (Part II)
1651 UTC - OFF after end of Echoes Part II
