House-ish music at tune in. SINPO 34344 / S8 on an SDR in Texas.
As is typical, they seem to be around 6849.93 KHz +/- 10 Hz as the oscillator warms up and eventually stabilizes.
(Must be a "Strechyman Special".  His 10 and 40 Watt transmitters are always 60-110 Hz lower than expected.)

0222 - ID
0300 - Occasional digital QRM on the USB. This used to me a clear frequency area weeks ago but QRM just seems to be getting worse.

Caught the sign on and soon into dance tracks with "lotsa" synthesizer. SINPO 44333 / S8-ish on an SDR in Texas. 
RTTY about 5 KHz above and some 2.5 KHz-wide digital signal roughly 5 KHz below so listening bandwidth is constrained to ~9 KHz.

0159 - ID
0206 - ID making fun of HFU poster "FlyenBrian".
0230 - ID in a similar vein, ending with, "Today, mid-Missouri. Tomorrow, the world."

Recording starting at 0255 UTC: https://voca.ro/1of4p9DywKL3

0343 - Techno song set to the theme music from "Das Boot".
0357 - Carrier off.

Usual whispy modulation, lacking bass. Usual subject matter, the unfollowable sermon.

0510 - He seems to be of the habit of saying the word "God" and occasionally spelling it out immediately after, "Gee Oh Dee". I don't know why. Maybe because his crappy audio makes it hard to discern consonants well.

Recording: https://voca.ro/1idtuVbtGxQW (3 min 50 seconds long)

Recording: https://voca.ro/1keTlL0jQ7AS  (20 minutes long)

0525 - Paraphrasing: Basically any other religion aside from following Yahweh is useless.
0528 - Encouraging us to burn our flags.
0538 - The moment you have been waiting for: Days of Hard Life.  Recording: https://voca.ro/1e7sxmLAH7oo
0540 - But wait...there's more! As always, DoHL is not the end of the show. There's always an epilogue.
0549 - Carrier off.

Poor signal on KPH and KFS in Northern California tonight; I don't remember it being that way in the past. (Maybe he had to move his beat up schoolbus to a new location and his antenna pattern has changed.) Reception in Oregon, Washington and Montana is much better, though the recordings linked above were made on the Northern Utah SDR.

I first saw the carrier around 0355 UTC. Modulation started later, but not sure when. Best on the west coast. Not seeing it on the east coast (yet).

0406 - Jazz

0428 - Led Zeppelin, "Bring it on Home". Song interrupted by girls screaming.

A recording (poor copy) around this time from VE6ARS SDR in Alberta: https://voca.ro/1h46FwfWw438
Another recording (better copy) from W0AY SDR in Montana: https://voca.ro/13np8fX0yTPu

0433 - A musical interlude transitioning to Jimi Hendrix, "Let Me Stand Next to your Fire"

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Free Euphonia 6970 AM 0352 UTC 01 NOV 2024

« on: November 01, 2024, 0354 UTC »

0353 - ID over music, something with "international shortwave". Best on an SDR in New England.
0359 - ID (I hope that spelled it right) "...international shortwave"

358- Recorded OM ID, but didn't copy due to low audio and increased QRM.
358- OM then comes on the mic and mentions "6970 kilocycles" and then IDs, but didn't copy for the same reason.

Yes, same problem. I have it recorded as well. I will check it later.
0405 - "Radio Free Euphonia on sixty nine seventy kilocycles" spoken by a male between songs.
0411 - Spacey music
0445 - TX off when I checked back at this time.
