Post by: Zoidberg on July 25, 2010, 0231 UTC

7/25/10
6940 AM
0211-0230z: Classic crooner songs including "Blue Skies", Radio Casablanca ID's at 0215z and 0227z, with gmail contact info.

SINPO=34232.  Listening outdoors with Sony 2010 in AM sync.  Good peaks, lots of fading and summer static crashes.  Very good audio quality during signal peaks.

Rough here with crashes, but nice to finally hear Casablanca, somehow never caught it when others could.

Pretty crashy, but best I could get.

Wow ... I'm hearing what sounds like two carriers ... a Hz or two apart, beating against each other with fades and peaks -

- two ppl/stations active on 6940 ??


0406z A fairly strong carrier just left 6940, and now a much weaker carrier can still be heard ... is there re-use of this band in Europe or S. America for ... the same purpose?

I should add, since I wasn't able to copy pgm material (the audio) I was monitoring the carrier level and tone in CW mode on the Icom, and suddenly the strong carrier dropped out leaving the weaker carrier (at that point). Earlier the two carriers were fairly close in signal strength, but, as time progressed propagation changed ... I just thought I would mention this as it looked a bit interesting ...
