Also a carrier still present per prev post

And yes, you can still hear some of WLDJ on the upper sideband ...

This is where listening DSB/ISB is interesting; normally ISB with the WR-G303e results in WLDJ coming out the right CH spkr louder ... not it's reveresed and the left CH spkr is louder (not to mention the spectrum scope shows much more LSB than USB ATTM)

0333z Pgm continues ... peaks to S6, QRN increasing, AM carrier still present at 6924.6 or so ...

0339z WLDJ LSB the last few minutes competing with A) a carrier B) a QPSK31-like signal (too slow for RTTY, and has just a slight freq shift to it)

0345z Just to note: WLDJ's audio has become distorted; sounds like PA bias was turned down on the final PA devices (best way to describe it) also, signal considerably weaker ... 6146s or 6JS6s give up the ghost? 10V 20W Zener in the Cathode circuit cook?

0353z Carrier and QPSK31-like sig have been gone for sev min now ...

0359z Haven't heard "Fish Heads- Fish Heads - pretty little fish heads" in quite awhile ...

0412z Audio quality picked up! Much better!! Ahhh ...the B-52s ... love the gal that sings in that band ...

0417z Back to distorted ... TX engineer needs a station monitor (O-scope) to watch for flat-topping ...

0420z Oh yeah, WLDJ is now USB ... and now back to lower ... and upper!

0436z Audio has been better for some number of minutes now too ... MUCH easier to listen to!

Been going for awhile

Carrier zero beats on/pretty close to 6924.6 kHz

0303z now off-air

0306z Just noticed, carrier is back ... with bits of audio coming through now and then ...

0310z Better zero beat using 6924.59 kHz ... AM Sync Demod working now (must be tuned close to work) ...

0322z There may be two carriers present down around 6924.6 kHz, one is even weaker than the other but there is a distinctive beat that is not the result of just a single carrier ...

0348z Just noticed carrier is off-air

North American Shortwave Pirate / 6925am Carriers detected: Capt Morgan 2nd carrier 0144z 7-17-2010

« on: July 17, 2010, 0145 UTC »

Hmm ... very weak copy attm.

All I have really been able to copy from this station is ... is the carrier and an occasional bit of audio ... a voice/pgm signal and not just comms of some sort ... and of course a bit of fading and peaking

0243z As of this time stamp it is still there at/near 6925.2x kHz ...

0307z There are now two carriers in/about 6925 ... 2nd at about 6924.7 kHz

0309z Resolved 2nd carrier to 6924.72 +- 20 Hz ... may be Outhouse Radio Capt. Morgan ... signal weak but improving only briefly on occasion ...
