Utility / UNID Russian (Military?) 6930 USB 2208 UTC 8 APR 2024

« on: April 08, 2024, 2210 UTC »

2208 UTC Hearing weak music just above the noise floor. Can't ID the song-OM singer
(Seems to be the same song (or artist) repeating...is this North America or Europe?)
2239 UTC Still going with signal solid above the noise at S7

Thanks for the info CT-Yankee! I tried to Shazam my recording several times with no success. I wonder if this is related to the Russian utility station heard recently on 6930 USB? I will move this post to European.

Here's my recording from 2209-2225 UTC:

Not sure if this belongs here or in Utility...or Clandestine!

2135 UTC It took me awhile to tune this in! Interesting music(?) with an OM sounding like a whacked out Bob Dylan mauling an out of tune guitar (or unknown stringed instrument) and screeching harmonica. Cool!
2151 UTC Pause, then more of the same
2153 UTC Pause, then a different sounding tune of the same genre
2155 UTC OM speaking in German intro to more bizarre music
2230 UTC OFF after an OM repeating several times "Please Stop"

Maybe next broadcast you could play Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed?
