Title: UNID 6925 AM 1450 UTC 22 Aug 2017
Post by: R4002 on August 22, 2017, 1456 UTC
Pirate Radio Station - so far UNID / unidentified
6925 kHz 6.925 MHz, carrier seems to be right around 6924.95 kHz, so we'll say 6925 kHz :D
Mode: AM
Time: 1450 UTC (started listening at 1450 UTC)
Date: 22-AUG-2017

Decent AM signal, minor fades, S5 signal level

1455 UTC - Human After All with some minor selective fading
1500 UTC - Elton John - Your Song with some static
1507 UTC - Steve Winwood - Higher Love (signal faded down at the beginning of track, then came up nicely, then back to previous levels)
1510 UTC - signal jumped up to S7, sounding much better - with "Higher Love" still playing
1515 UTC - Huey Lewis And The News - Heart And Soul, S6-S7 with deep fades
1517 UTC - Elton John - Tiny Dancer, a very deep fade into the noise, then back to S5
1518 UTC - signal back up to S7, much "fuller" audio on these peaks
1523 UTC - signal faded down to nothing, just a carrier now
1524 UTC - bits and pieces of music coming through
1527 UTC - rapid fading up and down, getting what sounds like Boston - More Than A Feeling now
1532 UTC - Steely Dan - Hey Nineteen (now around a S3 signal, still suffering from heavy fading)
1533 UTC - signal came up to S7 and sounded really good for a few seconds, then dropped back down to S3-S5
1536 UTC - rapid fading making it hard to make out what's being played
1636 UTC - was away for the radio for about an hour, come back and there's still a carrier on 6925 kHz, but I'm not hearing any modulation
1646 UTC - hearing a OM talking, however fading is making copy difficult, heard mention of "anything untrue" "you don't have to worry about that"
1647 UTC - OM mentioning Facebook "the last five times I attempted to create an account, they deleted it"
