Solar Centric radio, 6949.4 kHz, AM mode, July 29, 2015, 0155, with martial music. ID at 0200 UTC.
This station was on the air twice 3 nights ago, for an hour each time, but I see it did not get logged.
Audio is very good, but different tonight from the other night. Op, if you see this, the audio tonight lacks low end, still pleasant but not as fat as the other night. Tonight's audio penetrates better, so easier to understand.
Email address given at 0225 UTC. It was said several times, but not spelled out.
Off air 0231 UTC. There were a couple audio dropouts (not heard before on this station) and then off air, no announce. Hope the radios are OK.
T!

Weak carrier and very faint audio here on 6949.4, per Token's tip on IRC.

SDR Recording Catch
Station noted with weak intermittent carrier and occasional music heard.
It did look like a regular AM signal but at around 0159 to 0202 UTC,
it seemed an LSB component (or a different station) rose above
the noise level with "Get the f*** outa here" heard... And then
faded back down to previous levels...

Shortwave Ghost was on 6950 until 0230z, when it went QRT, I could see the faint carrier from Solar Centric, which then went off a minute later.
Checking on the 26th, I see a carrier on 6949.4 from 0259 to 0355.

Simultaneously, there was a long, profane and often hilarious rant on 6950 USB by English speaking OM with British accent, apparently a sailor or merchant marine crew. He was ranting and cussing quite colorfully about some crappy working conditions on his ship or job. Sounded a bit like Don Logan from the movie "Sexy Beast", and at first I thought it was part of a pirate program using movie sound clips. Presumably Atlantic ocean somewhere.
