Other / UNID 6932.5ish USB? 2352 UTC AUGUST 16, 2015

« on: August 16, 2015, 2355 UTC »

I'm hearing some strange electronic musical like tones here...?
Hard to tune and there also seems to be a weak AM carrier on 6930. Hmmm...
Also sounds like something on LSB....what is this?
Maybe some kind of data xmsn mixing with the carrier on 6930 and the peskies on 6933...eerie sounding and repetitive. Still going at 0007 UTC
0011 UTC Now I hear piano music...about 6932.4ish...
0028 UTC Somewhere between 6932.4 and .5
Music is clear on 6933 LSB...thanks textim!
Seems to be playing old C&W tunes

Pretty sure this is a peskie playing radio....

As reported by Glenn Hauser in Hard Core DX, I'm hearing some weak music at 0035 UTC. Mostly at the noise floor or just above, but the carrier is fairly good.
Signal came up a bit at 0042 UTC and sounds like Spanish music.
