SDR recording catch. Came on the air with Bowie "Major Tom", into another song, possibly Bowie, hard to tell, off at 0134z. No sign of an ID. Fair to poor copy.

General Radio Discussion / Wide-band WebSDR

« on: August 25, 2012, 1806 UTC »

There's a very cool online SDR at http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ located in the Netherlands.

What is unique is that it is wide-band, meaning that many people can be using it at the same time, tuned in to different frequencies. No more fighting over the controls. There's 95 users right now, as I type this.

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925 AM 0734 UTC

« on: August 25, 2012, 1313 UTC »

SDR recording catch. Signal faded in around 0734 with some music.

Alan Parsons "Where Do We Go From Here?" at 0742z.
Possible ID at 0755z.
At 0759, the carrier suddenly shot over to about 6869 kHz. It then slowly drifted back to 6925, finally getting there after about 40 seconds.
Another possible ID at 0807z. Then into more music.
Around 0830z it was sounding a lot like audio from *two* stations, making me wonder if it was the return of my mysterious overnight mixing product.

So I'm not exactly sure what was on here, and how many stations were involved. Anyone else hear anything?
