Hearing it well here, using NRD-515 and Wellbrook, in // to the Westminster SDR.   Recorded radio drama at 2117 UTC -- good signal, using ANC-4 noise reduction on NRD-515.

Weak and generally poor here @ 2122 with OM talking and howling noises (maybe a bit of CW too).  S4 carrier.

Ion Radio 6930 kHz AM carrier seems to be right on 6930.3 kHz


2123 UTC - tuned in using Chris' SDR in Westminster, MD - hearing ads now and an ID for WOR
2125 UTC - S4-S5 signal, good copy with nice AM audio, 7-8 kHz wide at the moment
2126 UTC - 6933.5 kHz - CW
2127 UTC - "Count Dracula" - very strong ute burst on the lower side (center freq around 6928.5 kHz)
2128 UTC - somebody dropped a carrier on 6930.0 kHz for a second or two, heavy heterodyne QRM
2128 UTC - "we must be quick with a transfusion"
2129 UTC - strong SSB QRM appeared to be on 6933 LSB or 6930 USB
2130 UTC - more SSB QRM
2132 UTC - wideband ute QRM roughly 6920 kHz to 6950 kHz obliterating Ion Radio now :(
2134 UTC - SSB and ute QRM have now completely taken over the frequency, I can just barely hear Ion Radio

Ion, 6880Khz is free for you to use if you want, which is why i shut down an hour earlier than normal today, to let others use it in the event this annoying wide band UTE starts up (which it did)
a wide-band UTE just appeared on top of someone being foolish at 6930 USB.

weak here. I can hear voices that sound like they're from OTR shows (thanks to Chris & Traveling Wave for IDing it), but it's tough to copy anything

  The frequency was hijacked by some weird SSB station that I can hear a supressed carrier always on. Ion was taken out. Language is Spanish..

Thanks for tuning in everyone, I shut down at 2140z. Only about halfway through the show. That damn ute!
Maybe I'll replay soon.

Thanks for the info Relay Station, but I'm fixed. Can't move.

Thanks TRS! I will take you up on that one day. I monitor the band with the online SDRs, it was about 8 minutes before I noticed that
UTE came on. Don't want to interfere....  :o :(
