0042 UTC I'm hearing what sounds like a YL and OM in Spanish with bits of music...sounds like a TV drama or something...loud peskie in Portuguese on LSB
0047 UTC The music is short like a program music bridge...?
0049 UTC OFF
0052 UTC Back on again with same...sounds like a daytime Spanish language soap opera
0057 UTC Signal is a solid S5 here with a rather low noise floor this evening...seems to be mostly dialogue between OM and YL in Spanish with occasional music bridge.
0100 UTC OFF again...I have no clue what this is

2251 UTC with OM with a political commentary. Signal is varying from S3-S5 with excellent audio amidst local storm static.

2311 UTC UNID Rock tune OM singer(psychedelic garage rock)
2318 UTC Signal varying widely in strength with good peaks and deep fades.
2322 UTC OM with KOTH Shortwave ID, rundown of tracks played
2324 UTC Bluesy psychedelic rock tune OM singer
2335 UTC OM with KOTH pirate shortwave...6930 (I switched to USB due to some loud peskie QRM on LSB. Signal dropped down to just above threshold. UNID punkish garage rock...more Iggy?
2340 UTC OM with ID into "Train In Vain"-The Clash (Back to AM here with peskies gone
2344 UTC Prog rock instrumental with sound effects
2351 UTC OFF
Thanks for the test KOTH! Copy would have been much better if it weren't for the local storm static. It's raining here now....

0003 UTC Something here that sounded like a ute, but now I'm hearing music
0008 UTC Yep, I've heard this electronica composition before...better in USB.
Spacey, ambient music....mostly just above the noise floor but some S3 peaks amidst the static. This song has been played on an UNID station a couple of times in the past....this time the frequency is a bit wobbly sounding
0018 UTC "Crazy Frog" (I think that's the name of the song)

0317 UTC Heard 2 carriers around 6925, one of which I assume is Liquid on 6925.2ish with no audio heard here. The other seems to have been on 6925 exact more or less with UNID garage/punk rock tune, 0319 UTC with OM mentioning KOTH QRP test with 25 watts...gone or faded out about 0321 UTC
0330 UTC OM voice rising out of the noise again with "KOTH...6925" and gone again
0335 UTC Seems to have QSY'd to 6935 USB! Hearing OM chatting intermittently now
0336 UTC Alternative grunge tune now(signal dropping in and out just a bit but audio sounds much clearer than earlier
0342 UTC I heard that also kilokat! It sounded like another op coming in on top
for a few seconds but I couldn't make out what was said
0347 UTC "Modern Love"-David Bowie
Thanks for the tests today KOTH! Hearing you very well now but it's time to hit the sack...hope for more soon!
