Title: The Ghoul 6325 AM 1824 UTC 28 April 2018
Post by: KaySeeks on April 28, 2018, 1828 UTC
1824 UTC - Pop music.Bad QRM from 6320 KHz and some sort of utility on 6321-6324 KHz so making the choice between two bad options, I have to listen in LSB. SINPO 11331 in Italy. Not going to check this frequency much because reception sucks here.

1908 UTC - Carrier still there but still getting heavy QRM.
1931 UTC - QRM has improved and I can now listen on the USB with occasional bursts of digital QRM. Freq noted as 6325.21KHz.
1935 UTC - Something that sounds like a skit between and man and a woman then into more pop music.
1940 UTC - Signal on 6320 is gone and can use LSB to listen.
1955 UTC - Talk by English accented announcer. Sounds a lot like The Ghoul from yesterday.
2001 UTC - Signal is improving here.
2003 UTC - ID and email address but couldn't understand it. Should have made a recording!
2015 UTC - "Free radio on shortwave, The Ghoul."
2021 UTC - Talk about using a laser to replace a vinyl record stylus. Repeat from yesterday.
2029 UTC - Bogus advert for Viagra.

I have things to do. I'm tuning out. Ciao.

but heard already at 1358 with "Substitute", then in a loop (1454 again "Substiute")

1946 music,
2059 strong, talking,music, (but RTTY QRM)
2155 music. Frequency stable on 6325.2 kHz.
2157 'The Bogusman is here', more music

Yeah, I think that is still him. I have a weak signal from him at 2208.
