Title: Brain Brothers 6925 DSB & eSSB test 0951 UTC 18 DEC 2024

SDR catch

6925 DSB & eSSB

Overall decent signal here - not so sure this was actually Brain Brothers w/DSB mode being used, but who knows :)

09:51z came on with Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Good'
09:52z "..this is a Brain Brothers Pirate Radio Network Triple Spin.." ID over music (Stagger Lee also started before Johnny B good ended)
09:53z 'Stagger Lee' - Loyd Price
09:54z Off

Brain Brothers 6925 DSB 09:51z-09:54z 12-18-24 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hG3ctaWlGkIPCY09KxaYgK1YdzkP5am8/view?usp=sharing)

09:59z back on, but modulation with audio made it almost impossible to hear anything discernible tx was in eSSB mode
10:01z Off

Brain Brothers 6925 eSSB 09:59z-10:01z 12-18-24 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/135cWN-0KefnKjp-vopKImESEpDqAYah1/view?usp=sharing) recording was made in DSB (5.4khz) mode unfortunately

Thanks BB!

I had something weak on the SDR recording around this time, it did look like DSB, but somewhat distorted audio here.

Just to clear it up. We were doing some testing early this morning into a DUMMY load, 75 watts. So that will give you an idea how well you are receiving. It was both DSB and eSSB testing. Those modes will likely be forthcoming.

I was actually shocked when I happen to see the report! That is some super reception on your end. Normally would not have even been on that frequency.
