Dr Who show is still going strong at 1916Z
There is a carrier about 100 Hz above him. It's getting stronger here.

I head this at around 0045. It got to be peaking to S5-6 at best and it sounded like a radio documentary about offshore pirates in the '60s. Much talk about and clips from Radio Nordzee International.

Has contunued and is now at 6930.

Some kind of propagation sounder maybe?

Thought I was hearing Shannon Volmet (S7-8) but research says this freq is Australia and Asia. Interesting propagation!

I am using an SDR-IQ from RF Space. It runs just fine on a little. inexpensive Compaq netbook using an 1.6 GHz Atom CPU and XP.

I was dubious considering the sort of audio chipset one would expect in a product like this but it works just fine.

I am limited to sampling 190 kHz at a time but I'm very happy with it.

The SpectraVue interface isn't as fancy as some others I've seen. (Perseus)

I've never heard them at this freq before. D, S and C are audible. If P is there, I can't copy it.
