X Minus One pirate radio
6955 kHz 6.955 MHz
Mode: USB

1533 UTC - tune in, SIO 222 there's some sort of very weak carrier around 6956.9 kHz that's fading in and out.
1534 UTC - Dropping the passband down fixes the problem.
1537 UTC - can hear an old radio drama, OM talking...S2-S3 signal strength but low noise this morning
1537 UTC - waterfall image (skull and crossbones) transmitted twice
1540 UTC - signal just dropped considerably :(
1541 UTC - checking OH based remote SDR receiver...SIO 333 there, S4-S5 signal
1542 UTC - talking about a black and silver limo, a uniform "oh what a sight!" - followed by music
1544 UTC - off-frequency SSB QRM heard, very faint but its there
1546 UTC - waterfall image (skull and crossbones) transmitted over voice/continuous program
1551 UTC - you have just heard X Minus One
1552 UTC - SSTV
1554 UTC - another SSTV
1556 UTC - off
