01:00 UTC - Good readable into my location with fading;
01:17 UTC - Station ID: WDOG
01:35 UTC - WDOG announcing that it is concluding it's broadcast followed by CW ID;
01:38 UTC - CW ID, end of broadcast.

Thanks for the show. A good +10 on the S meter with fading once conditions improved.

00:00 UTC - Second night in a row that I can hear the station, albeit weak but readable. Making progress;
00:10 UTC - Oh, I spoke too soon. Faded out. Nothing being heard at this time.
03:48 UTC - Can just barely hear the signal burried in the noise floor.

01:30 UTC - UNID just coming out of the noise floor, weak signal;
01:33 UTC - AC/DC - Hell's Bells
01:35 UTC - AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill
01:38 UTC - Missed the station ID, interference from a UTE;
01:40 UTC - Male announcer; getting interference from a UTE at my location;
01:41 UTC - Return to AC/DC
01:45 UTC - Thanks for the shout-out, reception is weak but readable. Getting the occasional clobber from the OTHR UTE;
01:53 UTC - AC/DC - Back in Black
01:57 UTC - Looks like the carrier just dropped. End of broadcast?
02:10 UTC - SSTV "No One"; far too weak for a good decode.

23:54 UTC 22 JULY 2021 - UNID chirps are currently active. Nice strong signal tonight;
00:28 UTC - Appear to be getting double chirps tonight on this frequency (1 chirp followed by a double ping chirp).
01:05 UTC 23 JULY 2021 - Found the matching mate on 11025.0 kHz. As with the pair located on 6803.4 kHz and 6846.4 kHz, we now have a matching pair on 11025.0 kHz and 11150.0 kHz;
02:00 UTC - UNID is still chirping strong with nice strong signal.

23:22 UTC - This is one station that just doesn’t want to make it my way but tonight I can just barely hear some music buried way deep in the noise floor. Listening in USB mode;
23:27 UTC - Switch to the end-fed antenna to match Radio Genix's TX antenna. Slight improvement over the B&W. The B&W is a T2FD setup as an inverted-v, primarily pointing at Europe. Can also hear you on the Wellbrook loop;
23:29 UTC - Bette Davis Eyes
23:45 UTC - Pretty much lost the signal now. With the SSN at 86 I will need to wait for the grey line (+/- 01:00 UTC). Don't see the propagation improving until +/- 02:00 UTC;
23:49 UTC - Eye of the Tiger
00:15 UTC - Starting to improve, peaked S7 but with fading, I can now listen in AM mode;
00:22 UTC - Completely faded out again;
02:00 UTC - Still very weak and barely readable.

Nowhere Radio 6974.9 AM 00:53 UTC 21 JULY 2021

00:53 UTC - UNID with heavy rock music. Good readable with some fading. Actual frequency: 6974.9 kHz;
00:56 UTC - Believe there was a short station ID which I missed;
00:58 UTC - Going into a deep fade at my location;
01:07 UTC - Station ID: Nowhere Radio
01:26 UTC - Conditions continue to improve. The station is finally almost above the pesky noise at 6979 kHz. Can almost switch from a 6 kHz to 8 kHz wide filter;
01:40 UTC - My brain can only take so much of this "humming noise";
01:43 UTC - Going into a rapid deep fade out period. The station is almost gone now;
01:44 UTC - Nothing further heard.

Based on time and frequency, most likely Nowhere Radio.
00:59 UTC - Chuck, thank you for the staion ID in Reply #1.
