March 17th, 2018 tuned in at 1649 UTC [1249 local]
1649 UTC - [tune in time] Hearing music fading in and out, checked NY and NH SDRs, heard nothing
1650 UTC - switched to IN-based SDR, weak music on 6950 kHz USB seems to be drifting? or maybe [slightly] off-frequency
1650 UTC - Adjusted the passband a bit, tuned down to 6949.95 kHz and it sounds considerably better
1651 UTC - Cover of "Help!"
1652 UTC - signal now SIO 222, some fading from S3 to S4, some quick S5 peaks
1655 UTC - sudden signal increase up to S6, then back down to S3-S4
1657 UTC - checked another online SDR (this time in OH), same signal as locally but less noise
1700 UTC - music continuing...tried tuning 6949.98 kHz and now it sounds more "natural" but I'm splitting hairs at this point
1702 UTC - SSTV startup sounds and screeeeechhhhhh
1704 UTC - SSTV: "UNID" - UNID Radio?
