Title: WORK 6935.5 AM 0208 UTC 22 August 2020
Post by: myteaquinn on August 22, 2020, 0347 UTC

I heard two blues songs not sure of the titles but one mentioned New Orleans several times. After the two songs there was a series of SSTV images which was followed by another blues song. That was followed by a message repeated four times which sounded like "this is the kind of rap you don't get used to" or something like that. Off at 0228z.

I actually had my receiver tuned to 6936 AM and set the recorder. I put 6935.5 in my title because that was the frequency reported on HFU Rocket Chat.

I'm modifying my original post of an unid station to WORK, I received this email today and was given permission to share it on HFU.


  The unidentified station you reported with SSTV images on 6935.5 khz at
0:208 UTC on 22 August was WORK broadcasting with 55 watts AM.

Thank you for the reply WORK!  :)

July 26th about 0122 UTC WORK was in SSB at 30 watts on 6959.7 Prior to the SSTV images two songs were 'No help Wanted' by the Carlisles preceded by 'Hard Workingman Blues' by Jay McShann and his Jazz-Men. Prior to transmission the frequency was open and no ops were heard. Sorry Pee Wee! The August 22nd AM broadcast was using the same 1955 Viking Ranger that was first used in 1990. The same content but there were two versions of 'No Help Wanted' both by the Carlisles and both mentioning New Orleans. The end was 'Is this the kind of work you would like to do' from Front 242 repeated 4x.
