Hard rock music for the last hour or so, signal goes from weak to flame thrower but generally fair overall. I haven't caught an ID yet but I'm enjoying the tunes this morning - thanks!

Congrats to BID, you're reaching Brisbane, Australia right now at 1239 UTC with AC/DC, weak but good enough to ID the tune. This is on a Perseus remote SDR. In my own backyard, you're a good S9. Thanks for the morning show!

Pretty good opening last night on medium wave towards the Middle East including this from Radio Farda:

7,100 miles and probably the furthest hop received here from across the Atlantic on the BCB band.
Checking again tonight and not a peep from any of the stuff that I was pulling in last night, when the K Index was still sitting at 6.

I've been hearing classic country music for the last 1/2 hour or so, no announcements yet. This isn't the "CHIM-FM" station but rather something else. Perhaps it's just W807?

MW Loggings / 1500 UNID station causing interference - who is it?
« on: February 07, 2016, 1946 UTC »
Here's a good mystery: 1500 kHz, an unid causing interference almost nightly here since at least the Fall of 2015 and looping to my South. I suspect one of the stations in Alabama or Georgia, but I'm too far from the source to confirm anything:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M4opnMHq88
If you're near an AM station on 1500, maybe you can confirm or deny this is your local causing the interference?

Thanks guys. I tried last night too but found absolutely no sign of their interval signal at 0258 UTC sign-on. WCKY is a monster here and very difficult to null, so I tried phasing my D-KAZ against a short BOG wire. This helped a little bit and I was able to null WCKY down a couple more S units.
