Another day, another 6771 logging thread...

S9+ at 0024. With an old time radio show, not sure who it is yet. These are entertaining to listen to, thanks... whoever you are.

On a side note...I find it almost difficult to believe an overseas Netherlands pirate can come booming in like this almost the entire day without enormous power. I actually thought I must be within that "umbrella" near the transmitter zone that can hear it all the time even when the band goes long. That's not to say I think Echo 1 is staging a hoax...I just don't know what to believe. Seems this station almost defies physics but then again I know very little about the science of propagation on 6.772. What do you think?

I think it would require the same violation of the laws of physics to allow a 10 watt grenade transmitter in Montana to be heard on the east coast during the summer at high noon.

About an S6/S7 at 1229z on 6771.4.

Barely audible again at 1900z. I just checked the real time foF2 map, and the current value over the Mid Atlantic US is 6 MHz, slightly lower to the north and higher to the south. The F layer has been weaker than usual the last few days, I see the solar flux is down to 99.

Barely any signal around 1030z this morning, just a faint carrier. Now S7 at 1206z, the news just ended and they're back into the music.

Looking at the SDR waterfall, the audio is at least +/- 10 kHz wide.
