Exact frequency is 6919.96 kHz. S5 with the KPH KiwiSDR in California. This station has been going non-stop since July 7.

2350 UTC-Music, too weak to identify

That’s what I would expect at this time of day if you are in the eastern USA. Radio Pushka’s Facebook page says they are in Phoenix, Arizona and their website says they use 15 watts AM. Even late at night I can only hear an extremely weak carrier at my location and I am likely much closer.

Sunset at the TX site is roughly 0230 UTC these days. There should be gray line enhancement to the east somewhere around that time.

In the winter I noted best enhancement around the time of sunset at about the midpoint of the path between the west and east coasts. If that is still true now in the summer, maybe there will be some enhancement to the east coast around 0130 UTC. Though sunrise on the east coast is probably the best time to check by far.

Looks like they are off air today. They were still operating as of 0300 UTC 4 August but a check at 0350 UTC shows nothing.

Back at a check at 0438 UTC August 4.
