UNID on 6770,05 kHz on 28 Nov 2017 :
just a trace (weak carrier) at 2235-2254 UTC, with a bit of music at 2242 UTC.

A few weeks ago, I asked about that 6770.05 and got here a reply : it could well be that OTR (including errors on the last figure of the frequency, i.e. a couple of tens of hertz).

I understand that OTR is very low power station, so maybe I heard something different on this side of the pond.
I will try again...

Assuming that Skipmuck logging at 2330-2331 UTC is on Wed. 29 Nov.
Assuming that Chris Smolinski logging at 0015 UTC is on Thurs. 30 Nov
(all UTC time and date !)
After reading the report from Skipmuck, I listened again on 6770 kHz at 2345 UTC
and found again that weak carrier on 6770.05 kHz, but no hope to get audio again.
