Listening to YMR on 6925 kHz via the NA5B SDR from Kernersville, NC.
0136  "I'd Like To Get To Know You."
0138  Instrumental guitar song.  Heard it many times before, but I do not recall the name.  Sounded like there was a YMR jingle right before it started.

Listening to Yeah Man Radio via the NA5B SDR from here in Kernersville, NC.  I posted a short 30 second video of my copy of it on the Facebook HF Underground group thread for this broadcast.

Nice sigs - S7 to S8 most of the time.

The pic of the soldier is a screenshot from the movie "Red Dawn" (1986) in which a small group of teenagers engage in a guerilla resistance against an invasion of the USA by the Soviet Union.  In that particular scene, after a victorious op, the character yells, "WOLVERINES!!!" which was the mascot of their high school sports teams.

I've got the UNID here in EM96wc73 at S9 on my RTL2832U-based SDR.  For a time, it sounded to me like there were two signals on 6925 kHz, like the UNID might have been trying to jam one of the many for-profit HF Bible-tappers.

Sounds to me like you've got 2.4GHz problems in your house and a leaky microwave.  We used to have a 2.4GHz cordless telephone, and whenever we turned on our microwave, it would render the telephone useless. I bought a set of 1.9GHz DECT phones, and that problem disappeared.  If your household WiFi network is on one of the 2.4GHZ channels, upgrading to 5GHz 802.11a equipment is likely to correct that problem.  Otherwise, depending on the microwave oven's age, you could complain to the mfr and demand that the mfr replace it.

I could swear that I heard what must have been a long-path echo of the closing SSTV signal "down in the mud."  Not sure if it qualified as a true Long Delayed Echo, but it was seemed pretty close!  Pretty spooky, but pretty interesting as well!

Listening to  Wolverine Radio on 6935.270 kHz USB on my RTL2832U & upconverter using SDR-Radio-V2 over my home WiFi network.  Signal appears to be about 10kHz total, so I have defined a 10kHz that runs from 0Hz to 10000Hz and am using it to listen to Wolverine's great tunes.  He's peaking at about S6 here in Kernersville, NC on my G5RV.
