North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: KPR might be on at 1400utc

« on: April 26, 2009, 1425 UTC »

Hearing very weak music since 1400z on 6925u, but mostly in the noise. Fighting a local T-Storm here too. SINPO 15321.
Thought I heard a touch of steel pedal guitar around 1418z or so, but never enough signal to hear the op or an ID.

Clear KPR ID (and laugh) at 1428z.

Still on as of 1439z, long fades keep the signal below the noise floor much of the time.

A good signal coming into frigid Chicago over the top of a ton of noise here today - I think an AC transformer went wacko in the neighborhood.

1846z - ID (We got the transmitter all the frickin' way up)
1851z - Thanks for the shout!
