North American Shortwave Pirate / Tentative Metro Radio International 6950AM 2356z

« on: May 07, 2012, 0000 UTC »

7May12

Weak AM carrier noted; only a snatch of audio.

0004 Did note some OM talk.
0020 - 0023 An AM fired up on 6955 playing metal, and this obscured 6950 for a time.
0029 Tentative ID heard: "Metro .... International"  Good carrier (S6), low modulation here.
0045 Seems to be there still, but not a lot of audio.
0058 Carrier just barely visible in the waterfall.
0105 Peaked up just a bit so that I could hear definite OM and YL DJ patter.
0145 Carrier still noted, but I haven't heard any audio since abt 0130

Thanks MRI!  Hope the test was successful.

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6950 AM? 0009+

« on: May 02, 2012, 0123 UTC »

If you're bored, someone is apparently testing intermittently on 6950 +/-.  Some frequency slewing, power ups/downs.  At one point seemed to be modulating w/ 2kHz tone.  Typically abt S7 on a stormy S6 floor.
