Title: 6925 AM Radio Transamerica
Post by: skeezix on May 04, 2012, 0003 UTC

5/2/2012

0000Z 15331 S7 Music. Lots of static crashes (static is S7)
0023Z 15331 S7 ID "Radio Transamerica" Heard an email address, but too much in the static to get other than @gmail.com.
0024Z 25332 S7 Cicada & Third Party "Feel"
0027Z 15331 S- ID. Other talking, but too hard to pick out of the noise.
0031Z Totally in the noise now. Can hear the carrier when on SSB, but no audio.


Update 7/28/2012: The transmission of this broadcast was on an inverted V made of speaker wire.

Was recording USB; this seemed to come on around 0000z.  Came in at 0014, and switched to AM.  Very thin audio here in between monster lightning strokes.

0020 OM tx (ECSS is best here)
0021 Siren (police) FX
0023 ment "...shortwave.com"
0024 Song I can't ID
0027 possible "...if you'd like a QSL...something...dot com"
0029 "...Radio Transamerica  six nine two five...reception reports...at gmail dot com (?)"
0032 "...Radio Transamerica on 6925 kHz...email address...we'll get it out to you...thanks for your support guys" (poss ack these posts  
        on the HFU)
0043 Shoutouts; I could not hear the names.
0049 ID, addy, more music.  Sig picking up just a bit; starting to see some envelope rendering on the waterfall.
0059 s/off

Reception actually about S8, with base noise around S7 tonight.  Lot of near lightning strikes tonight.  Audio sounds pretty good in ECSS-USB.  On a quieter night this would probably be fairly easy copy.  Occas QRM on the LSB.  As it is, only abt 20% intelligibility tonight.

Thanks RTA!  Good to hear you.
Thanks for the addy, Mystery!

(Tentative) Good into GA tonight, topping heavy static crashes most of the time. 0055Z

Sounds like a het on the USB side, Better on LSB at least here. Audio sounds good.

0055z I have got them here but right at static most of the time...
I am running tape to see what I can get out of it but I hear them & if it weren't for the static, arm chair listening would be possible...
Been listening since about 0045z
Heard the email & shout outs...
SINPO 42244

Just got in front of computer... Please QSL & thank you!
