North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925

« on: November 26, 2009, 1453 UTC »

Heard a UNID station on 6925 since about 1430z, 6925u, 11/26/09, SINPO 25442

Various music including The Chicken Dance, Beatles - Imagine, Rascals? -It's a Beautiful Morning.

Show finished around 1440z with a clip from 60's children's show called Romper Room. At the end
of the show, the "teacher" would look into a magic hand held mirror and pretend that she could see
all of the children who had written to the show, hoping to hear their name on TV.

Apparently - she could see Chris, DB and myself

Not a real strong signal, but usual great audio and low noise making for nice reception.

Three MP73 SSTV shots at the end. This was about the best
