Had dismal conditions here on 43 meters last night, so I headed over to SDR land. While listening to the WREC program on the Warrenton, Virginia SDR, a carrier came up at about 0125 UTC over the top of 6950 USB. Couldn't hear any audio, but when WREC moved to 6930U, music was heard. Also heard very weakly in the noise directly, but nada on any decent copy, so I stuck with recording off the Warrenton kiwi. Played a bunch of tunes with no apparent ID's or talk in between until the end when the 6950.5ish station QRT'd with a synth sounding ID by an OM sounding like "Radio Telstar", repeated 2 more times, and off after a split second bit of music. Didn't post this last night as I exclusively DX only in real time with my own receiver. Thought I would make an exception in case the op wanted to know if his show got out......recording off the Warrenton sdr available if someone wants to hear it! As far as I could measure, the frequency was about 6950.55 or thereabouts.
