SDR recording catch. 0304 sign on with a very weak signal, just some audio popping up above the noise from time to time.

Switched to 6925 at 0358 which unfortunately was covered by the PSK UTE. The UTE left at 0446.
Somewhat better signal from RTN by this time, also. ID at 0447.

Switched to 6930 at 0515. The signal continued to improve. Had it not been for the static, it would have been pretty good, esp for RTN here.

ID at 0902 and then off at 0903. Thanks for the show, RTN!

SDR catch, 0300 sign on with an S7 signal. Tough copy with all the static, unfortunately.

0232 sign on, very weak, hearing some music popping up above the rather high noise floor.
0243 Possibly an OM talking.
0245 Off

SDR catch. On at 0227 with a weak carrier, then some music and off at 0228.

Back on at 0229, stronger, about S7.

I just heard a shout out to you, jFarley.

Andy just emailed me today in fact, and said he is about to send it off to the printers.

Spy Numbers / Re: QSL?
« on: August 02, 2013, 2212 UTC »
In 1999 I was on Radio Havana's mailing list and would frequently get cards on New years & even on my birthday. One night I left my DX 392 recording "DX'ers unlimited" on 6000 khz & a few minutes into the recording the audio dropped out for a couple of minutes & was replaced with V02 numbers. I didn't actually play the recording until a few days later. I copied it onto a blank tape & enclosed the tape, $5.00 and a friendly letter feigning ignorance at what the curious numbers were and asking for a qsl. They never responded & never again did I get a birthday card or anything else from them.

You got on Pedro's bad list.

Barely there, but I am hearing some audio.

Also noted here during the same time period.

Very strange, indeed.

SDR recording catch.

0442 sign on, Comedy bit of some sort, an OM talking in a high pitch voice? Then singing.
0444 Off

0448 Back On, YL talking? Then some instrumental music. "We need to go down to the cellar" ?
0453 "I have the power!" then off

0641 Back on again, sounds like the same program as 0442.
0648 Off

0657 Back on
0701 Off

Based on the program content I would guess PPVR but pure speculation, no ID heard.
