Title: Tater Patch Radio ? 1718 AM 2313 UTC 29 Dec 2019
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on December 29, 2019, 2314 UTC

2313 Very weak signal, I have had a carrier for a while now, but I just heard some audio as well.
2317 I switched from the 950 ft LoG to the 120 ft T2FD and now have a slightly better signal. The frequency is drifting a little, went from 1717.95 to 1717.97 or so.
2335 OM talk over Hotel California. Possible ID?
2340 OM talking, it did sound like the Radio Corsair operator, but that could be my imagination. I also have not noticed drift like this from Radio Corsair.
2349 "Best Day of My Life" per Shazam
2353 Weak carrier found on the Wake Forest NC KiwiSDR - I think this is Tater Patch. Their website is down so I cannot check the stream.

2315 UTC I have a weak carrier on 1717.9+ here, but too much noise and splatter from the Springfield Armory TIS

Very faint carrier here and barely above my noise floor just a bit below 1718 nominal.

OM with Hotel California - dead giveaway - Taterpatch Radio uses that as an id drop

I ran my I/Q recording through Carrier Sleuth, you can see how unstable their carrier was this transmission:
