Station had come and gone off the air several times in the past 30 minutes or so.  Now hearing it back on 6925.1 with a S9 level signal and snippets of voice and "warbling" sounds (not sure how else to describe).  There's music in the background but there's also some sort of noise on the signal.  

1807 UTC - OM voice heard under the noise.  Talking about the football season being almost over.  Something about rock n' roll, then back into music at 1809.  

1810 UTC - "Can you turn that off? Jesus Christ!"

Hearing what sounds like a WWV relay on 6914 USB.  Very weak but I can hear the time pips.  UTE/data burst QRM around 6916 or so at times.  Right at noise level but there is something there.

AM carrier right at 6925.0 kHz.  Hearing music from The Godfather, a bit noisy but readable

Heard a computer-generated YL voice say "at gmail dot com" - couldn't make out the first part of the email address or ID at 0138 UTC

Getting bits and pieces of audio on 6935 kHz. Sounds like it might be a YL talking but difficult to tell for sure. All I can really be sure of is the carrier at this point.

Got a carrier here on 6935.1 kHz AM.  Some audio discernible.  Seems closer to 6935.09 on the K2SDR WebSDR.

OMs and YL talking, sounds like Bogart (old movie/radio audio?)

S7 signal level with nice audio on the WebSDR


1951 - Dramatic music

This is another relay of Amphetamine Radio (was originally being relayed on 6925 AM)

Now on 6950 AM and 6925 AM.  Sounds like somebody is relaying Radio Azteca via a SDR.

Saw them pop up on 6912.5 kHz AM and 6937.5 kHz AM as well

Discussion of sacrificing a virgin above the top of an inverted-V antenna.   Nice strong signal with powerful carrier and nice audio.

YL talking with OM at tune-in 2051 UTC 6925 kHz AM

Sounds like two-way traffic.  Two stations talking about government mobile jamming equipment that "drops a carrier from DC to daylight".  "Cell phones don't work, Wi-Fi doesn't work...you have to basically tell them which frequency you're going to use so they don't jam it"

Sounds like hams talking about various radio topics.

Have a carrier at tune in (1600 UTC) on 6925 kHz AM on the K2SDR WebSDR.  No audio heard though

XFM booming in S9 to S9+20 at 0120 UTC on 6875 kHz AM with broadcast quality audio tonight.

Wavering between S7 and S9 now at 0125.  "Somewhere around here is the directory I'm looking for".  

"Broadcasting in C-QUAM Stereo from the United States to the World - this is X-FM Shortwave.  Music to the power of X!"

Some real nice audio frequency response.  Listening on the K2SDR with Sennheiser studio headphones - awesome bass and treble coverage RedHat!  Your signal sounds like you're next door.  

0129 - "The music sounds best...on XFM Shortwave"

Where Eagles Dare is another classic.  If you go with Clint Eastwood war films, my #1 will always be Kelly's Heroes.  Only in the late 60s would Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland be in the same movie.  "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?!".  Don Rickles and Telly Savalas are great in that one too.  Now I know that one's been played on 6925 kHz before too (or at least the theme song from it - "Burning Bridges" has been).    That one, along with A Bridge Too Far.  That one's got an ensemble cast that's too long to list.  I actually want to say I've heard parts of A Bridge Too Far on 6925 as well...


0039 - hearing repeater tones (or roger beeps) in the background
0047 - Heard more radio chatter in the background with roger beep/repeater tone
0053 - More chatter in the background.  Anybody else hearing this?  Maybe the transmitter is near another receiver or there's audio getting into the TX some other way.
0100 - Hearing OM singing "O Come All Ye Faithful" to cover up the sounds of digging the tunnels
0101 - "You were a Boy Scout?" "So was I! I had 19 merit badges" "I had 20!"
0103 - "With you in the cooler will we still be friends?!" "I must report this!"
0106 - Distorted audio now competing with station's audio...then roger/repeater beep
0110 - CW
0112 - SSTV
0113 - CW, then more SSTV
---
Tuned down to 6875 kHz AM to listen to XFM sign on.  When tuned back up to 6930 kHz USB, nothing was there.  So I'm going say signoff was with the CW/SSTV

jFarley,

Richard Attenborough (or Steve McQueen, for that matter) don't make it - but some do.  The Great Escape is still one of my all time-favorite films.  So thank you to the OP for playing the audio from it!
