The Mighty KBC, 9450kHz, 0000Z 12/30
« on: December 30, 2012, 0023 UTC »
Call it SIO 333 into Madison tonight.  Maybe it's just local QRM - I swear my neighbor across the alley has a plasma TV or something - or maybe 31 meters just stinks tonight, but the noise level seems awfully high.  Rapid fading/fluttery but audible.  The music's louder than Eric's voice, though.  :(  

... Uh, that sounded worse than I realized.  

Edited to add: 0040 signal shot to blazes, and I'm annoyed.  It's those noise blobs again, all over 31 meters.  WTF?  It seems to be every 20kHz or so.  What's going on here? >:(

I'm hearing nothing on 9450. All I have is a faint carrier that is just barely in there.
