I've been hearing a weak carrier since 2145 UTC on 6254.1 AM with occasional imagined audio. Signal seemed to pick up a bit around sunset and I believe a man announcer at 2240 UTC and occasional bits of music at threshold level. Maybe a spur? Nothing according to Ianns chat...hmmm

I'm hearing this at 2225 UTC Feb 5, 2015 on 6600 KHZ AM with a fair to good signal marred by assumed DPR jamming. Also heard on //6518 KHZ AM with poor signal and mostly covered by the jamming. Haven't noticed this one before. I guess reunification isn't happening at the moment. Wish I knew what they were saying...UNID language

Huh? / Re: Hmm...

« on: February 02, 2015, 2147 UTC »

I was 8 years old at the time and was most fortunate to have seen the original broadcast. The Outer Limits was a regular at our house, of course, in black and white TV. Yes, a few of the episodes gave me some bad dreams, but I grew out of that. Many of the episodes are still fresh in my mind, particularly the Zanti Misfits. That one was really cool! What I didn't catch the first time I read the Wikipedia article was the name of the engineer...Alan Maxwell.
