I'm getting some weak music since 1718 UTC....pretty much at threshold level and can't ID the tune
1721 UTC OM? followed by another UNID tune....
1728 UTC Punk sounding tune rising out of the noise...sounds like an OM talking over the music at times...
1741 UTC A familiar hard rock punk tune
1742 UTC IS? Hmmm....was that WREC's? Or BID's...hmmm indeed Nope, per eQSL RCVD it's Channel X!
1744 UTC OFF

I'm hearing this at good level here...a slow deliberate pace where I can actually write down the dits and dahs and decode with the help of the chart at the back of my trusty 1928 edition of Practical Radio Telegraphy

Pretty good signal this evening with some fading....playing Dutch polkas or Schlager music with silence between the tunes. Intro to the Hawaiian polka tune at 0008 UTC sounded like TAPS!

European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: IBC (Italian Broadcasting Corporation) 6970 USB 2200z 05-Feb-2016

« on: February 05, 2016, 2218 UTC »

Been tuned to 6970 USB since 2157 UTC and nothing here yet
I have a fairly high local noise level at the moment...maybe it will clear up
2235 UTC Still nothing here....I am getting a weak carrier which I assume is the Sound of Hope/Radio Free Asia...
(I think the problem is that DimBulb has a killer antenna that captures all the signal in a 500 mile radius...LOL )
2245 UTC I have some threshold audio at the moment
2246 UTC OM talking then music at noise level
2252 UTC Music again now for a bit, but too weak to copy

Thanks for trying IBC! No joy in the hills overlooking Poor Brook

Punching in here at S7 at 2253 UTC with English folk music with a bit of psychedelia

OM at 2304 UTC and 2306 UTC...Signal faded quickly after 2306 UTC...buried in the noise now
