Title: UNID 6890 USB 2035 UTC 11 Oct 2018
Post by: R4002 on October 11, 2018, 2036 UTC

Signed on right into music at 2035 UTC, right on the very edge of The Relay Station's wide AM signal on 6880 kHz AM.

2038 UTC - moving around in frequency for a second, then cranked open the audio
2039 UTC - off abruptly
2040 UTC - back on with "Magic Man" by Heart, clearly making adjustments to transmitted audio bandwidth while on the air
2048 UTC - now there's just a carrier on 6890.0 kHz, S9+10db on the Uniontown KiwiSDR
2049 UTC - must have dropped power, went from S9+10 to S5
2050 UTC - Carole King - It's Too Late
2052 UTC - rapidly changing frequency, like the op is slowly moving the VFO from side to side
2052 UTC - back on 6890.0 kHz
2054 UTC - (DON'T FEAR) THE REAPER (adjusting audio bandwidth)
2055 UTC - nice wide SSB audio at this point, 7 kHz or so
2057 UTC - now the lower side has audio (no carrier) so we'll call this 6890 kHz DSB
2058 UTC - back to regular USB (with very wide audio!) - very strong signal S8-S9+10 on peaks
