hearing traces of pop? music 1009, ID Radio (?) at 1012, possible voice announcement 1015, more music but gradually fading, short voice announcement 1022, long SSTV 1028 followed by short voice announcement (ID?) and more music, short announcement 1043, by 1050 can barely tell that the signal is still there

6925 USB

Weak signal staying just barely above the static for the most part.

10:42z can hear music. but can't ID song
10:46z piano/synth
10:48z could hear someone talking briefly, but couldn't make it out
10:49z "..(?).Radio.(?).."
10:52z sounds like Dak's voice, but still too weak for positive ID
10:55z rockin tune with synth/guitar begining - signal is slowly improving here
12:11z PSK31 & off

I can confirm this to be Radio Totse. Has been on since 0800, and still going as of this post 1120.

SDR recording catch summary:

0810 PSK31: "Radio  tse heÌt |25 RSB  Our broadcast is about oo begin so po ase stand by..."
Which I assume is something close to "Radio Totse 6925 USB Our broadcast is about to begin so please stand by..."

SSTV 0923 UTC Scottie DX mode:

SSTV 1029 UTC Scottie DX mode:
(http://www.radiohobbyist.org/blog/mypics/26Aug2013-082826.jpg)

Faint music was also heard throughout the time period, and an OM talking around 1120 which could have been an ID.

Thank you very much for the broadcast, Radio Totse!

SDR catch. Down there in the noise, but music is clearly audible and a presumed ID right at the top of 1051 UTC (about 10:51:41-ish). This lines up with the times noted by others in this thread.

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

JBA audio from time to time in the time period noted, and essentially flatlined near the noise floor in the RF Signal Strength History.

I shot myself in the foot on this.  I put a rotor on the main loop this past weekend, and was spending some time after the KIPM relay playing with suppressing local QRN sources via loop rotation; it works pretty good.  Problem is the last local noise blob I was depressing was at an azimuth of around 60 degrees (on the side lobe), which also suppresses reception from 240 degrees (New Zealand).  I never spun the loop around to the proper az (around 60 degrees on the reception lobe) after playing around before starting the overnite...

Oops
