Damn Skippy 6950 USB 0246 UTC 14 FEB 2021
« on: February 14, 2021, 0247 UTC »
Music up on 6950 USB at 0245. good but fadey signal.
In the noise at 0255z and unreadable.
Hearing bits and pieces of music and was able to make out the word Skippy on the waterfall at 0303z.

Signal has gotten stronger by 0300z.
 
     


And here is one of the waterfall images.
