Title: Hard Tack Radio 6930 USB 0037 UTC 21 Jul 2014
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on July 21, 2014, 0038 UTC: About an S6 signal, with music, just heard an ID, Hard Tack Radio.
Actual frequency seemed to be 6930.14, based on the SSTV sync frequency.

Post by: krissy on July 21, 2014, 0138 UTC: I always appreciate stations that are near to the noise floor who play easily recognisable tunes...

So I was pleased that when I tuned in to 6930U at 0046z I could make out The Yellow Rose of Texas followed directly by Jonny Comes Marching Home.

The signal was barely a tadge above the noise theshold here and had to battle with static crashes and the regular occupants of 6933L.

Sinpo here at my location in the uk was at best 11221. For me this was a new station and I am very pleased to have logged Hard Tack Radio ... krissy
