Same here until 0053 UTC. The pesky on 6925 LSB made AM impossible...even bleeding over into the USB.

« on: September 22, 2014, 2242 UTC »

I listened back on the recording and after the song "Drops of Jupiter" by Train was cut short, a man was talking about freemasonry and the masons...cryptic phrases like "strange and mysterious name". After that the "ambient" music sounded more like background music to a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits story with a woman saying something like..."help me my head needs another body". Snippets of song followed before Deguello....seemingly off abruptly. No ID's and I had good reception here, despite some ute and pesky QRM. Another mystery

Huh? / Re: Trolls

« on: September 22, 2014, 2140 UTC »

Merriam-Webster says Machiavellian means..."using clever lies and tricks in order to get or achieve something : clever and dishonest"... So it must mean Politician! Anyway, trolling has severely depleted our fish supplies and is the reason we get dolphins in our tuna. This must stop or we'll never get rid of those damn pescadores yakking all night long because there ain't no fish left to catch...

Had to turn the PC back on and log into HFU to report this one! Tuned in at 0110 UTC but it took me a minute or so to realize it was LSB. Same details as Rafman. 0119 UTC the Song was cut short, then a man talking at 0121 about something followed by ambient music. Strange, but I doubt this is a pesky...

Off at 0127 UTC as I was posting the above...hmmm...very unusual Will have to listen back on the recording tomorrow. Thanks for the mystery whoever you are!
