Title: Radio Totse - 6925 USB - 0915 UTC - Aug. 14, 2013
Post by: Mentholyptus on August 14, 2013, 0926 UTC
I'm hearing extremely faint music in & out of the S2-S3 noise floor.
This is around the time & freq that Radio Totse signs on to, but I can't pick out a thing.
Anyone awake having better luck, or any SDR recorder catches here??

0930 to 0940, faint in & out music
0942, faint speech
-- conditions improving slightly --
0945, faint rock tune w OM vocal
0950 to 1003, faint in & out music
1020, faint tune, again @ 1025 & 1030
-- conditions improving slightly --
1037, song with a flute
1041, faint music
1050, dialog, almost intelligible!!
-- conditions improving slightly --
1116, still hearing faint dialog
1141, tones

It could be us that you are hearing. We have been broadcasting from 0730z and the broadcast should end at around 1200z.

Cool!! After 1100 UTC your signal goes down the hole for me, but I'll hang in there, it's my day off !  :^)

Woke up just in time to hear them sign off at 1200 UTC with what sounded like a SSTV broadcast. Caught a clear ID though. Better propagation this morning than on Sunday.

Music could be heard, very faintly, during the entire period before 1000z, but too weak to pull out any exact details.
I did not notice any PSK31.

0814 SSTV Scottie DX (it spanned two SDR recording files so I had to do a cut and paste on the image):

Recorder Catch on 6925 USB

0727 Noted poss PSK31 tone as first audio.  Alt mx and OM talk noted from time to time in fady reception.  I noted a song with
        flute in there.
0815 Heard SSTV, fractured cap here.  More mx and talk noted, again weak and fady.
0903 Noted fady SSTV here .
0915 Caught an ID here, and back to mx I could not ID.
1013 Signal seemed to be picking up a bit now.
1042 Like SL, I noted PF - "Mother" (only tune I could ID this AM), followed by a long block of talk about marihoochie at 1053z.
1110 Had to shut down for work.

Very weak to only fair on peaks.
Thanks for the show, Dak!

OK, I went back and checked, and sure enough, there was what appears to be a PSK31 transmission at 0727, but I could not get anything to decode.

Conditions don't seem to be as good as last week, perhaps due to the solar flares we've had.

Heard something there at 1040z as I was getting ready to head out for work.  Didn't have time to ID, but will be trying again.
Weak, but very low noise at that time of day here so was able to hear some clear audio.
