Title: UNID 6940 AM and 6940.5 AM 2204 UTC 30 Oct 2021

2204 UTC I have 2 AM stations that I can't separate with the NRD 515. I am hearing music but the het is rendering copy quite difficult....Shazam is of no assistance. Anybody else hearing these?

Thanks Andy! I am hearing music on at least one of them!

I've been checking them from time to time, too. I haven't heard any audio, so I was assumed they were utilities (but I keep checking it, just in case :)

Listening on the N1NTE receiver, I can hear Led Zep "Ramble On" at 2225

ID at 2227. Sounded like he said "You're listening to Range Master Radio" ? I'm still recording 6930U, so I missed it & can't recheck (also, I'm probably totally wrong)

I have both of them here also, the 6940.0 has weak audio and S5 carrier, the 6940.5 has S3 carrier and no audio here in Kentucky

6940.00 AM had country like music but audio is low and 6940.5 has been like S2+ for the past 3 hours and weak ultra-week early.

Weak here - 22322 (tuned to USB for better reception)

2211 - Fleetwood Mac / Go Your Own Way
2214 - Hank Williams / Lost Highway
2217 - John Hiatt / You Must Go
2222 - Led Zeppelin / Ramble On (more fading)
2226 - ID, think it was computer generated - audio hard to understand clearly, "You are listening to BLue Blocker Radio / Blue Rocker Radio ??"

ID was not repeated - then off air

2216 very weak, but definitely copying some music here.

Ditto in Wyomissing.  A substantial signal--30 dB over the noise at one time--and very faint music.

Found it at 2210 playing "Go Your Own Way" on an SDR in Maryland. Really weak. Maybe a 2/2. Faded into oblivion by 2220.

Barely audible here in NC. s1 noise level and the station is just right there. I can tell it's music of some kind, but can't pick it out.
