Title: UNID 6925 AM 0111 UTC 3 Dec
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on December 03, 2012, 1250 UTC

Started to fade in around 0111z with a carrier barely visible on the SDR recording. Sudden increase in signal to S4 at 0126z, it sounded like possibly a Johnny Cash song?
ID repeated several times at 0129? Hard to make out, with the echo effects.
Off at 0129z.

Carrier noted again 0141-0145z, this may have been another station, though.

Recorder catch:

6925 AM (rx in USB) 222-323

Also caught this, but wasn't sure if two stations or one fading out & coming back in.

It sounds either like two stations, or one station switching modes, at least for the first fourteen minutes. The weaker signal sounded to me like the soundtrack of a cartoon, maybe The Groovie Ghoulies or some other `60s-`70s cartoon with bubblegum music.  The stronger signal sounded like out-of-tune sideband transmissions.

Twenty minutes in it sounds to me like one very weak station, still playing what sounds like `60s music.

Either this was a low power transmission or you were out of their transmission area. A good catch.
