Title: UNID 6925 AM 1430 UTC 12 SEP 2017
Post by: R4002 on September 12, 2017, 1430 UTC
UNID pirate station
6925 kHz 6.925 MHz
AM mode

Usually starts around 1430 UTC or 1500 UTC and finishes at 2100 UTC or 2200 UTC


Tuned in to find a carrier on 6925 kHz AM at 1430 UTC.  No modulation or audio noted on the waterfall at 1430 UTC.  Decently strong carrier on NY remote receiver with some fading.  S4 signal with some fades down to S3.  Nice looking carrier on the waterfall, appears to be on exactly 6925.00 kHz or 6925.0 kHz.  Checked a handful of other remote receivers and some have it on 6925.01 kHz, so very much dead-on frequency.  

1432 UTC - still nothing on the carrier :/
1434 UTC - signal down slightly, now closer to S2 with low noise at the moment
1440 UTC - unmodulated carrier still sitting right on 6925 kHz, maybe somebody tuning up (signal is strength is fading up and down rapidly)
1446 UTC - either somebody is doing tests or there's a lot of selective fading, signal up and down - peaking at S5-S6
1456 UTC - big signal increase, went from S3 to S7, still no audio/modulation
1457 UTC - music starts - nice wide signal with strong modulation, around 10 kHz wide
1458 UTC - more selective fading, but can hear OM singing - looks like the daytime powerhouse AM station on 6925 kHz AM
1549 UTC - hearing an OM and a YL talking..."try and find this person" lots of noise now "that means nothing" "you're not a happy person"
1550 UTC - bits and pieces of audio heard, then music started back up again
1551 UTC - checked one of the VA SDRs, showing S6-S7 on VA SDR, S5-S6 on NY SDR, hearing Elvis at 1551 UTC
1552 UTC - Elvis track, can't make out song due to noise
1555 UTC - hearing more music but heavier QRN now making copy harder
1601 UTC - audio from the film "Taxi Driver"
1602 UTC - "when I walked in I could sense it" "did you feel that way?" - voice audio lower than music
1603 UTC - Golden Earring - Twilight Zone
1610 UTC - signal now nearly S9 really strong audio
1611 UTC - "why thank you Travis" - more clips from Taxi Driver, then back to music somewhat abruptly
1619 UTC - faint talking, possibly another audio clip from "Taxi Driver" but hard to tell for sure

1602z audio from "Taxi Driver" followed by "Twightlight Zone" by Golden Earring.

S6 signal with no static or fading.

1837z still going strong with various mashups.

At 2000 getting a readable signal. Right now there is a program with the history of cold war radio. Mainly Radio Free Europe.

As I listen to the broadcast it seems more focused on jamming shortwave broadcast stations.

The ray gun sounds are recordings of different types of jamming.
