UNID station/relay station on 6925 kHz USB.

Hearing what sounds like a relay of two-way communications?  English and Spanish language heard. 

Currently getting nothing but digital QRM on the frequency.

FEMA SHARES North (also ID'd as "SHARES Northern") net 6765 kHz USB (going simultaneously with SHARES on 6910 kHz USB)

AA5xx NE5PY and "E5PY" along with other IDs heard.  Very strong to medium readable signals.

Missouri, Virginia, KNZ48 Colorado (different callsign format) and several other states checking into SHARES this morning.  Net control reading check in and check out times in Zulu time.  

Net control mentioned "no broadcast heard today" (I wonder if they're referring to Old Time Radio's transmissions on nearby frequency 6770 kHz, or if they're referring to a SHARES network broadcast.)

NNO5xx and several other alphanumeric callsigns heard.  Several "tactical" callsigns heard

NNE5PY, NFA5PY, NNA5BK and others heard in rotation at 1618 UTC

Net control NNA5BK calling any SHARES or MARS stations at 1619 UTC.

NNE5PY working AFA5PY radio checks.  Several stations taking net control, making calls for check ins, then transferring net control to another station and repeating the process.  "SHARES North calling for any MARS, Air Force, Army or SHARES stations, over" "SHARES North calling any station any region over" "SHARES North calling for any relays, over".

Radio checks and requests for check ins continuing at 1622 UTC

NCS 02 liaison monitoring at 1625 UTC.  Once stations are checked in, callsigns are truncated to the last 3 characters.  Very professional operating procedures on this frequency this morning.  

Other SHARES frequencies:

SHARES Nighttime Primary:  5236 kHz USB
SHARES Daytime Primary: 14396.5 kHz USB
SHARES North Central (Northern): 6765 kHz USB
SHARES Central: 6910 kHz USB
SHARES South West: 7320 kHz USB
SHARES South East: 7632 kHz USB

Net closed at 1700 UTC.

Now stations having casual QSOs on the frequency now that the net has been officially closed.

Hearing several stations working NCS on 6910 kHz USB (SHARES net frequency) NCS and various alphanumeric callsigns checking in.  Very strong signals and good copy this afternoon.  SHARES Central (Region 6) 6910 kHz USB primary frequency. 

On-going net on 6765 kHz (SHARES North/SHARES Northern)

Very weak Spanish language two-way traffic heard on 6920 kHz USB this morning.  Just barely above the noise.  Much less chatty than the traffic on other frequencies logged today, perhaps military?  Or more disciplined operators.

Too weak to get a solid enough copy to translate what's being said.

Similar to the traffic heard on 6928.5 kHz USB at the same time, only slightly weaker signals.  Information two-way communications, but much less "chatty" than the guys on 6928.5 kHz USB or the usual nighttime/evening time "pescadores" traffic often heard on various frequencies in the 6800-7000 kHz range (and others). 

I'm considering the fact that these operations may be related to drug smugglers or are simply other radio hobbyists operating out of band.

That, or its fishing fleets that discovered their radios have a "mode" button ;)

Informal Spanish language QSO on what I originally thought was a MARS net (judging by the frequency offset choice).  Very chatty, similar to the pescadore traffic heard later on in the day (usually on LSB).  Logging this since its earlier in the day, they're using USB, and its a "point-five" frequency choice instead of the usual 3/5 kHz steps observed by the pescadores and freebanders that hang around these bands. 

Either distortion or overmodulation on the signals making it a bit difficult to understand.  S4 or so signal levels.  Haven't listened to it enough to gather what they're talking about (with my somewhat limited Spanish comprehension skills).

S3-S4 level AM carrier sitting on 6925.0 kHz when I tuned into the station on 6925 kHz LSB.  No audio on the USB but there's certainly a carrier right there.  LSB audio, due to other UNID station and pescadore/freebander two-way communications on 6925 kHz LSB.  

Carrier gone at some point before 2134 UTC.

Sounds like audio from the episode of COPS.

"My radio ripped off" "184, you can open up the channel, we got one detained"

Pescadore QRM and a carrier on 6925.0 [carrier went QRT or faded out around 2130 UTC]

2132 UTC - police radio chatter in background.  Not sure if its part of the show or another station
2148 UTC - QRM from another station running off-frequency or USB
2150 UTC - "Bad Boys" theme music from COPS playing again, with more police scanner chatter
2152 UTC - Police sirens and mentions of a high speed pursuit, lots of radio chatter in background
2213 UTC - Talking about crack pipes and drug residue in the car
2235 UTC - either off/QRT or overwhelmed by QRM :/

2739
Seems like another station is tuning up in the USB at 1520-1522 UTC (6925 kHz USB) over the music.

S5 on the local RX and Ohio remote SDR.  Big band/1940s (??) style music.  Audio is a bit low but signal is decent.  

Off or faded out rapidly at 1532 UTC

Since its two different QSOs...one on 6900 USB and one on 6900 LSB,  I figured I would make another thread.  Another Spanish-language QSO of two stations (at least).  Much weaker signals than the two stations talking on 6900 kHz USB.

Very strong signals this morning on 6900 kHz USB, Spanish language, sounds like Mexican accents.  Likely freebanders.  S6 up to S9+ signal levels and strong audio.

2743
Sounds like a relay of CNN news coverage of the 58th Presidential Inauguration.

S7 signal locally, S5-S6 signal on the Ohio and Pennsylvania remote SDRs.  Nothing heard on the more southern SDRs (Virginia, Florida, etc).

Audio cut out, followed by CWID "TRUMP ALERT NETWORK" at 1350 UTC, then more ads.  

Off at 1720 UTC

Intermittent signal.  Sounds like police radio/police scanner audio.  Mostly digital-sounding audio (so likely a relay of a digital trunking system) with some analog voice heard at times.  Several east coast times given.  Computer-generated YL dispatch voices also heard (at 1609 UTC).

Solid S5 signal, with S6 peaks on the Ohio remote (KH6ILT KiwiSDR)

Off at 1630 UTC?

Sign on with music, YL signing in unknown language.  Seems to be rapidly changing between songs, sometimes with a few seconds between tracks.

S7-S8 signal on the VA remote
S5-S6 signal on the NH, OH, and PA remotes
S9 signal on the NJ remote

Nice audio, especially for SSB.
