I would've never found it without Token's post, because I've got some ridiculous (local?) noise covering it here in Pennsylvania.  I can make it out with heavy noise reduction turned on, but the signal barely even shows above the noise on the waterfall.

Just had an ID with reverb and roger beep, still couldn't make it out for the reverb, but still sounded like "Radio Dead Guy"...

Just had a Collective Soul song a few minutes ago, then dead air, now Smoke On The Water.  Still a great clear S9 signal here!  There was some ID during the Collective Soul, but I couldn't make it out.  Sounded like "Radio Dead Guy" to me, but I never heard of that one...  Maybe it was Radio Ga-Ga?

Just caught a brief transmission.  Two SSTV pictures which I can't make out anything at all in for all the noise, then a few lines from Rush "Driven", then a few bars of a tune I didn't know, then off.

Now back on as I'm typing this at 0315Z, much stronger (S9+), don't know the song.

The band must be skipping over me in Pennsylvania, I'm getting a few more voice stations than normal on 11m but no SSTV at all.  10m is wall-to-wall though, but I haven't listened long enough to see how much of it is DX.

What are the 10kHz-wide 1- or 2-second data bursts that pop up on 11m?

Got a death-at-sea theme going with "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and now an excerpt from Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

I see a carrier but nothing else, plus the band is full of more pescadores that I've ever seen.

Getting a mostly S8-S9 signal with static crashes here. 

Like last night, somebody is in RFW's upper sideband.  Unlike last night, the other signal isn't standing still, but wandering back and forth.  Is it a ute?

That's what I said in reply #5, and William Hassig edited #4 to say it too.  It shows up very well on the display because it's at 6927 USB, but the upper sideband of RFW is too strong for me to get clear audio.

S7-S9 here, no drift on my receiver.  Muse, "Undisclosed Desires".

On my SDR display, it looks like somebody is underneath them at 6927 USB, but I can't make out the programming.  Anybody else?
