S6 over the usual summer static with occasional pesky interference above and below 6950.

0043z: Remix of a Depeche Mode song
0044z: OM/YL banter, familiar to Metro Radio, mentioning the Depeche Mode song.  Only bits of talk can be understood.  On a quiet band and without the interference, this would be a nice copy.
0056z: Off

Thanks Metro!

Thanks Chanter.  I've caught this a couple times in the past, but always under WSB.  They were way over WSB for a few minutes and made confirmation easy by comparing with their web feed.

And yes cmradio, the MW DX season is in full swing here and we're off to a great start if this is any indication!

6935u // 6950am, both sounding good here at 0052z.

6935u = S8-S9
6950am = S7 (audio sounding nice and clear on this one despite peskies on the LSB)

Thanks for the show, and sorry you smoked the Corsair

Not sure if this is helpful, but here's a shot of the abrupt sign-off at 0144z.  Looks like the 6950 SSTV was really pushing the envelope:

I thought I had tuned into a MW DX test with the sweep tones, but the kind folks on #pirateradio informed me this was RGI :-)  S7 signal over high static tonight.  First time hearing this one.

Thanks for the heads-up this morning!

0849z: A very faint signal can be heard right now, sounds like talk as opposed to music, occasionally popping above the S3 noise floor.  A bit early yet for any sunrise enhancement here but I suspect the signal will strengthen in another hour or two if still on.

0943z: SSTV
1025z: Announcement, sounded like a Radio Totse ID given, signal is still faint.
1135z: SSTV
1139z: "You are listening to Radio Totse"
1220z: Faint but still being heard
1222z: Off now?

In again right now at 0241z under WBBM splatter with the same middle eastern style chanting.

750 YVKS RCR Radio Caracas beating up WSB tonight with YL SS talk clearly parallel to their webstream, 2500 miles to the South.  Not a common one for me to hear.

No copy at all here, while 6935u is still very faint at 1124z.

Coming in nicely here, first time hearing this, S7 with occasional fades, ambient music with nice audio.

0113z tough copy here tonight, mainly due to a very noisy band.  S5-S6.
