Radio True North 6925 then 6940AM *0115 - 0143
« on: September 25, 2012, 0152 UTC »
25 Sep 2012

On 6925AM

Weak AM station started up here with music.  Peaked quick around 0133 with a tentative Radio True North ID, followed by OM talk in another voice, then faded down until covered by another signed on at 0143.  Now see a weak carrier on 6940; moved?

On 6940AM

0215 Now starting to get audio here again; a little fady; YL vocal
0227 Still up and down near the floor.  Program of alternating mx selections and OM talk, possibly a relay?
0228 Some Latin music now
0230 Solid RTN ID
0257 A couple two three Celtic tunes
0312 Still playing Celtic music; some really upbeat stuff.  Signal picking up nicely now with occasional peaks to S7, good audio.

Thank you, RTN!  Gotta go get ready for work...

Yes thats me.  I moved.  Im staying away from 6925.  Other ops dont seem to listen before they throw the switch or ask if anybody is on.  I listen to several sdr rx online and ask before I hit the switch.  Wish other ops would do the same.

Thank you for confirming this.  Still a little early here for you, and 6940 still weak here.  Will keep an rx on you.

SDR recording catch. Fairly weak signal here, some peaks around 0415z.  

Switched to 6945 at 0456z. ID at 0603z and then off. Back on at 0607z for a minute or so with RTN theme music.
