Title: BOOMBOX RADIO 6949 AM 0154 UTC 25 APR 2025
Post by: Charlie_Dont_Surf on April 25, 2025, 0154 UTC

Strong carrier on an SDR in NY State. Dead carrier for a minute or so then music started at 0154.
Very weak and restricted audio. What I did hear sounded like a relay of a streaming service.
More exact frequency is 6949.13 KHz, slowly drifting upward.

0204 - Pro DJ announcements with the songs he played for "Valentine's Day, 2015."
0211 - Audio is louder but still restricted. Frequency has drifted up to about 6949.20. Playing Hot Chip, "Huarache Lights."
0213 - Announcement by YL with telephone (or Dixie cup and string) audio so I missed what she said with the fading and QRN. Next tune...
0217 - "I'm DJ Liquid Todd." More mentions of Valentine's Day, 2015. Liquid Todd implies that this is a relay of Sirius XM Radio, I think.
0224 - Audio has been turned up some more. Sounding better and more fully modulated between 500 and 1500 Hz but is all middle without highs and lows. Needs an equalizer.
0229 - TX off midsong.

Since my question was deleted, I'm going to ask the question again:

How do we know that this was Boombox? No one heard an ID. How was the station name communicated to (apparently) a moderator? It's just a simple question.

 I heard the station ID but didn't log it here. As a moderator I can modify logs without explanation.

Does it matter?

Yeah, actually it does. In the interest of honesty.
