No ID, 6925 U, Dec 08, 2012, 0314 UTC, short intro section of the Pink Floyd "Is There Anybody Out There", then off.

Back on same song 0316z, but now in AM, the USB signal was better.  This time it sounds like they are playing the whole song.

(edit)  Changed back to USB about 0346.

I heard them for a minute @ 350z with music in USB then gone. they were abou S8 over an S4 noise floor.

353z sounds like a digi signal now

357z music again good signal pink floyd (?) S9 + 20 on peaks.

414z male talking , still in USB heard the word radio twice. ID maybe. very low just above noise wich is alot higher now.
almost as if it was 3 different stations in last 30 minutes. the pink floyd one, the digital sig. & the weak voice now.

Noted here on the SDR from 0315z sign on. Extremely weak in AM mode, audio only came through from time to time.
Much better around 0355z in USB mode.
That Satan Side Band really gets out.

Recorder catch;

6925 AM & USB (rx in USB) SIO 222-323

Weak to decent signal at times with fading - could hear the sideband portion of UR better than the AM portions.

03:14z-04:24z Undercover Radio w/Floyd & Kraftwork

..at 04:25z another station came on after UR with an EAM type broadcast, but it wasn't the EAM pirate - Dr. Benway could hear portions of this & it sounds like there was an attempt at a QSO.  At around 04:30z the real EAM pirate begins to fade in, but can't make out most of the message - could hear the two tone sign off at the end though.

Thanks Dr. Benway, UNID & EAM! :)
