1621 - Also heard here, in and out of noise, but definitely Native American flute and drums.

This is same as Chris' post, so I'll add to his post and try to delete mine.
1845 - Drama about Big Foot? Mention of large footprint found 08nov1951
1852 - SSTV? No decode here
1857 - shift to 6926 and talk about Zion National Park w/background mx. Sig stronger now
1859 - Talk about Crater Lake N.P.
1908 - SSTV. At least partial decode. Yeti R.? (Yes, looks like it was Yeti. Thanks for much better SSTV pic, myteaquinn).
Overall weak sig (but it is daytime now), poor audio, and downward drift in freq. I did think to hit the record button for SDR record.
Thanks for interesting sig

1705 - Caught just the end of a Christmas jingle, then it was gone.
Not a bad signal but nothing to write home about. Sorry
I didn't hear more. Thanks, whoever you were.
Ooops, corrected date

Thanks Skippy. I think you are correct. Interesting, and now I wonder who sent it, and in CW no less...
BTW: I guess I'm going to have to post a pic of my cat, Christmas, on here.

Sorry I didn't take some notes as to exact time but I was sitting
here otherwise involved and became aware of very weak CW. I
looked up at the monitor and could see the CW while tuned to
6925 USB. I popped up fldigi and switched to CW-U and here is
the "text" that fldigi copied. To me, it looks like a parody of a bulletin
xmission. I can just pick out a few words and word fragments here
and there starting with what seems to be a story about a snowman
with a black face and a carrot nose...
I am posting this under Pirates since it doesn't seem to be
a "legit" signal.
No, I didn't verify it with the R-70 to make sure it wasn't an image
or something. Did Chris or anybody catch this on a recording? I
hope someone can shed some light on this.

Long, long ago, when I was but a wee pup of a tech, one of our senior engineers had some of these hanging on his office wall. I thought they were cool but had not thought of them again until the other night when I was watching a PBS program about the SR-71 Blackbird and The Skunk Works. For some reason, that triggered a flash back and I did a Google search – even remembered they were ads for Varian Associates – and found that someone(s) has saved them on the internet.

1915 - "North to Alaska" (I think!) but very weak, barely above the noise and somewhat distorted.
1919 - "Johnny Reb"?
1929 - Some kind of announcement by OM - ID??? but I couldn't catch it. Then off
Sounds kinda like same station as ~this time yesterday

~1905 heard some unk mx. Seemed to be a fairly good sig but
shutdown / soff about as soon as I tuned in. No, of course I
wasn't recording at the time - what a silly question!

Well, that's interesting and thanks for your comments and observations on remote rcvrs. As you can see, I do have way too much local RFI but that's a new one for me. I usually have the rcvr parked on 6925 USB, like in the screenshot I posted, if I'm not doing anything else. I am going to watch more and if it becomes frequent, I'll start making recordings in order to try and get more info - like better start and stop times and build a folder of screenshots. As of now, I haven't seen it again...

radiogaga,
Thanks. Let me see if I can do that right. I wondered if attachments had been turned off; I seem to recall a post from Chris, sometime ago, asking users to limit posting of images in order to conserve storage space.

That appears to work.
