Title: Metro Radio International 6950AM 0021 6Sep13
Post by: jFarley on September 06, 2013, 0025 UTC
About 6950.33AM

0021 Noted OM talk
0023 music
0029 OM/YL talk, signal in a fade, only tent MRI ID in some ute QRM
0107 Pescs have been gone for a few minutes now and able to listen in SAM rather USB
0120 signal on the decline for a while; now ~S5; seems 2B less modulation than earlier in the show
0212 still hangin' in there; S5-S7 peaks in Chicago

Suspect MRI, but need to hear more

S6 with pesc QRM in the LSB
Slow periodic fades of about 10 minutes between S4 and S8.

Thanks MRI!

Good S8, peaking S9 signal here on the SDR. Joy Division at 0026 UTC. OM and YL Metro announcers at 0029 UTC talking about the music selections. Some peskie QRM making copy of the announcements (which seem lower in audio) difficult. It might help them to ID a little more often during their banter between songs.

Just heard talk by OM 0032, into music  S-6
Signal improving to about S-8 with obscure rock tune 0058.
Live Depeche Mode tune 0104, so might be a repeat of the 9-4 bcast?

Tuned in at 0027. QRM from SSB voice stations (pescadores?), but could clearly hear DJ Formaldehyde & Miss Synth talking about bootlegs, microphones, & QSLs on fade-ups.
Thanks much for the show!

00:37  the QRM from the Peskies LSB - kill the AM signal here, even using the narrow AM filter.

About S6 here, some QRM from the pescadores on LSB.

Checking the SDR recording, sign on was 0012z.

Some really nice peaks around 0026 when it was S9+ Also quite good around 0205.

Off at 0228.

I hear Depeche Mode, enjoy the silence, but just barely above the noise for me. (Maybe live version or a cover??)

S6 or so here but I experienced a big signal boost during the Depeche Mode song as it spiked to S9+ for a few minutes, then back down again.

Been listening since 0103 UTC.  Heard live or bootleg versions of songs from Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Division and Suicide.  S7-S8 signal in NY, carrier is close to 6950.3 kHz.  Audio is strong, and I can hear the nuances in the different versions of these familiar songs. One of my best receptions of MRI.  Enjoying the show!
