0026 UTC Signal just picked up now and I'm getting some S4 audio above the noise. Kind of a repetitive discoesque bass beat tune

2350 UTC and I'm getting a weak carrier here but no audio yet. I believe this is more likely a harmonic from the 60 meter band....4765 X 3....?

Tuned in at 0121 UTC and had some weak music, then what sounds like an OM in Spanish....thought I heard the word "programa" in there.
0135 UTC There is something there but the static is just too heavy duty here.

« on: May 27, 2015, 1019 UTC »

Off from work this week and was tuning around a bit and found a nice S6 signal at 0950 UTC mostly above the static this morning with YL crooning a 40ish lounge lizard tune, into an old time jazz tune. OM with some indistinct announcement, then seemingly OFF abruptly at 1001 UTC. Back up again at 1010 UTC recheck. The signal and prop is somewhat reminiscent of the old CHNX-6130 out of Halifax Nova Scotia that I used to listen to in the 1980's.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: unid on 6949 AM at 0105 utc

« on: May 27, 2015, 0114 UTC »

Tuned in to 6949.8ish AM at 0109 UTC but difficult to make out...sounded like talking and music
0111 UTC "Welcome to the Machine"-Pink Floyd
0118 UTC Some kind of TV skit or something
0119 UTC "Another Brick In the Wall"-Pink Floyd
0126 UTC The signal is mostly buried in the static now
0129 UTC Music back up now..can't ID the song
0131 UTC Sounds like a speech by a man...not sure what he's saying though
0144 UTC OM talking between bits of songs...just heard "Who Are You"-Who
0154 UTC OFF

Now that was interesting! I'll have to listen back on the recording. Thanks whoever you are!
Thanks for the ID RAFMAN!
Nice to hear you again Insane Wayne! Tough copy tonight with the static though
