Hearing someone now, at 0104 UTC, with old comedy skits on 3389.73, 8 July 2014.  Is this a Pirate???   Here's a video link

I checked this out and it was on until about 0112 UTC or so. Simply too much static to copy here. The first harmonic of this puts it in the range of our old friend OTR, which I get no trace of tonight. Hmmm...
I have it back here also at 0116 UTC, but still too much noise. Let's see...this could be a harmonic of an X band xmtr on 1695ish KHZ. OTR could be a harmonic of an X band xmtr. Just speculating!
Thanks for the tip DaveJV... Nice catch! :)
(And the mystery deepens....)

Weak S4 here and didn't get a good listen before it went QRT at 0113z.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ah!  Back now 0115

Sounds like a radio drama at 0120, but mostly in the noise.  Getting a little better now that the navy MARS net on 3390U has shut down.

Nice catch, DaveJV! Old time radio comedy broadcast, with audience laughter & musical breaks between segments. My guess is that it's the OTR Unid, moved here from 6770. But, of course, someone could also test with OTR shows to make DXers believe that it's the OTR unid  :)

Very interesting. This frequency is almost one half of 6770. And several months ago, Glenn Hauser reported hearing it on 13560 (I think before it was found on 6770).
