OM talking, lots of martial sounding music, then back to OM talking...lots of fading unfortunately
2346 UTC - OM "George...some of our boys were just plain scared"
2350 UTC - I think Skip is right, its likely audio from the film Patton
0003 UTC - "God, how I hate the 20th century" and more martial music
0004 UTC - OMs speaking German now
0006 UTC - suspenseful music
0016 UTC - SSTV x2
0021 UTC - "I cannot see the reason so many fine young men get killed"
0026 UTC - signal deeper down into the noise, can hear bits and pieces of piano music and Patton talking about Sicily
0030 UTC - off

Carrier popped up shortly after Amphetamine Radio signed off, 6925.2 kHz, hearing bits and pieces of music at 2350 UTC
2353 UTC - now closer to 6925.1 kHz, music getting stronger
2358 UTC - massive signal increase, now pushing S9 and sounding great, nice big audio
0007 UTC - ID, The Crusaders, shoutout to Amphetamine Radio
and back to music, signal is S7-S8 now with great audio

2200 UTC - "The Seeker" - strong signal with some fading

2214 UTC - moved up to 6905 kHz
2215 UTC - spinning the VFO around at this point....sorry dude, but pick a frequency and stick with it not going to get into an internet fight here, but if you want people to listen to your station its a good idea to stay on one frequency. if you must QSY, then do so, but don't spin the VFO and expect your listeners to follow you around the band

Sounds like it could be Italian....lots of QRM from (legit) aeronautical communications on 6562 kHz USB. Very poor frequency choice on the freebanders' part...

Bits and pieces of audio on 6770 kHz - the usual Old Time Radio OTR frequency. Carrier easily visible on the SDR waterfall. I love the spring - OTR coming in nearly daily again

2127 UTC - there's a carrier there for sure....getting bits and pieces of audio, OMs talking

2136 UTC - OM talking about pharmaceutical drug overdose "just like heroin, basically" "we're at a target location right now"

2140 UTC - likely audio from COPS or another similar cop show
2152 UTC - bits and bits of unintellible audio...followed by an unmodulated (or nearly so) carrier

Strong AM audio at 0044 UTC tune in "Bring The Noise" S9+20db!
Likely Seven Trees Radio given the audio quality, signal strength and frequency choices (they started on 6905 kHz, then went to 6925 kHz, then down to 6900 kHz, apparently 6900 kHz has the best SWR)
0050 UTC - moved up to 6925 kHz
0053 UTC - dropped back down to 6900 kHz
0053 UTC - QRM from Spanish speaking freebanders on 6905 LSB
0057 UTC - off

Peace Radio pirate 6920 kHz 6.920 MHz 6.92 MHz 6920 USB
SSTV at tune in, some music, QRM, then SSTV again at 2300 UTC. Very strong signal
S9+10 on the MA SDR, S8 locally.
2300 UTC - another SSTV (false start) then another SSTV
2303 UTC - strong Spanish language QRM, luckily this station's signal is strong enough to punch through
2304 UTC - music music, great audio and still pushing 10db over S9
2312 UTC - very strong Spanish speaking freebanders on 6920 kHz LSB bleeding over
Per other reports, this is Peace Radio / Radio Peace

Peskies / 6780 USB Radiotelephone Link Phone Patch 2155 UTC 30 April 2018
« on: April 30, 2018, 2155 UTC »
Hearing weak Spanish language chatter (OM and YL talking, this is a well-known radiotelephone link frequency), pretty weak but can make out that its a telephone-like conversation (probably husband and wife talking).
The band is looking decent tonight. OTR coming in nicely on 6770 kHz, I bet we'll have several other radiotelephone and other "bumps in the night" from Latin America and North America this evening if conditions persist
