Curious, any copies here? I went to bed and did not set a SDR recording.

Thanks for the FYI. I updated the thread title.

I was more or less surprised either were not being jammed for a change.... or more like I could actually copy from Florida for a change as well.

Intermittent UTE activity on the USB side. Faint musical-sounding modulation on the LSB side, plus maybe peskies at the noise floor?

RTL-SDR V4 and 148' loop-on-ground.

Nonetheless, thanks for the broadcast! :)

Seems a likely possibility. A mod want to merge the posts into the current AD149 thread? Thanks!

Music at 0057z. Decent ~S9 carrier at times via Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical, but significant static crashing is wiping out much of the audio recovery here at the moment.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)

Waterfall carrier and intermittent faint modulation at 0026z. Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical.

About par for the course for Indy Radio in the evenings at my QTH. I often know the carrier is there, but discernible audio tends be much more rare.

Nonetheless, thanks for the broadcast! :)
