Title: Earth Station 1W? 6985 AM 0105 23 May 2021
Post by: refmo on May 23, 2021, 0105 UTC
S7 with 'this is earth station 1W initiating modulation test', then into ethereal music.
0110 - mention of electromagnetic radiation and ionosphere.  Some distortion in the audio and music.
0123 - 'modulation test complete, initiating ???', then music - "Random" by Gary Numan
0127 - 'please refrain from electromagnetic emissions on this wavelength'

Very good AM signal that's up around S9. Thanks for the broadcast.

0117 S5 A little above the noise level.  Someone talking with a synth voice and into ethereal music
Shazam has it as "Dunwhich Beach, Autumn 1960" Brian Eno
0123 OM, At least for me the synth on the voice makes it unrecognizable "Random" Gary Numan

Good signal with cosmic music. The talk though is over modulated computer generated and hard for me to make out.

01:21 UTC - Almost peaks a +10 on occasion. Audio sounds distorted with environmental music / sounds. This is different. I have heard this station before. I wouls need to search the HFU to find its name.
01:24 UTC - Some music. Now we can see what this station is capable of. It is 10 kHz wide AM.
01:28 UTC - Well, that didn't last long. Gone off the air?

Getting it in Denver with SIO about 222. Thanks for the broadcast. Will play it back from the SDR recording later to see what it's all about.

0112 Ethreal music and electronic music with distorted male voice.  Something about "electromagnetic spectrum" at the end.  Off 0128 with a burst of ALE just below just as the station went off.

S9+ although the modulation seemed high so the overall reception was only fair - poor.

SDR recording catch, generally a very good SIO 444 signal here from 0100 sign on, until 0128 UTC, although some fades now and then. Thanks for the fun broadcast! I have a recording I can send you in exchange for an eQSL, if you're interested.  ;D
