Radio Illuminati 6960 AM 0135 UTC 22 Sept. 2018

I mostly just hear the carrier here, but faint music is popping up when the signal fades in. A very quiet noise floor on this frequency is helping.

Radio Illuminati moved here from 6930.

Aha! I didn't catch them down on 6930 -- too much QRM on that frequency. The signal is still building here, though the quiet noise floor is being interrupted by static crashes; pretty sure there's lightning in the Cascade Mountains not too far east of me.

Heard from 0123 on the SDR recording, just above the noise level.
