North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925 AM 1828 11jul16 UTC
« on: July 11, 2016, 1912 UTC »
1828 - unk mx, possibly pan pipes? Just a little above the noise. I could hear it but mostly couldn't
          see it on the monitor - I may be an OM (literally! :)) but I still have right good hearing.
          I started Audacity running in case there might be an ID or 1830 s/on but no joy. :(
          Anyway, whoever you are, wherever you are, you did get into here at near noon local time...
          FWIW: I usually keep the rcvr parked on 6925 USB with the volume turned way down.

Excellent sig in here, well above much  QRN

Gee, I don't know how long they were on because I had antenna switch to ground during evening thunderstorms

0333 - s/on(?) “15 Men on a Dead Man’s Chest” – started out good but fading into the noise…  
0337 – gone. Guess that was all
{edit} Thanks for the mx IDs MDK2
0349 – someone’s back on the freq w/unk mx. Much QSB but sig is good S9 when it’s fading in. Good audio.
0353 – “15 Men”  again
0356 – unk choral mx
0406 - I *think* there is still a station there but it's all but lost in the noise now.

Very good signal w/a little QSB & bad QRN and s/on with mellow mx that I "almost" recognize.
Well, that didn't last for long. Gone @ 0150;no ID. No, back @0152. I think Native American wood flute mx w/animal sounds (wolves and others). Vy good.
0157 - almost lost in QSB
0201 - barely audible. Going, going, gone???
{edit} ooops, forgot to change the date in UTC - fixed ???

Too weak to make out any details but sounds like maybe vocals type mx. Reasonable carrier but low modulation. Can anyone else hear this one?
{edit}
02mar16, 1430 - sig is still there and still as weak as earlier. Confirmed with R70; must be commercial - or spur???

North American Shortwave Pirate / Un ID 6950 kHz AM 14feb16 0400 UTC
« on: February 14, 2016, 0414 UTC »
0400 - carrier
0403 s/on w/Shot Away ? / almost inaudible on IC-R70
0424 - still good carrier but low audio I think mostly Rolling Stones mx?
0432 - Superstition Stevie Wonder
0455 - Superstition Stevie Wonder - again  This song is the only audio I have been able to recover...
0500 - OM chatter
0508 - Cocaine;  I think it's a case of a lot of time w/no audio rather than low audio. Even though this is still weak, I can hear the audio OK most of the time, or maybe the propagation is improving...
0513 - Stuck in the Middle With You
0521 - Sounds like old Army Signal Corps training film for radio communications for Hallicrafters HT-41 & W9WZE - vy good audio! I am making Audacity recording as well as screen prints of SDR-IQ.
0529 - HT-41 became SCR-299. Signal / propagation now much better!!! Now listening via Sync AM rather than USB
0545 - PLEASE ID while propagation is still good!!!
0548 - CW ID w/some reference to hfunderground.com. Gotta replay
0555 - carrier gone s/off assumed
0601 - QRX, gotta send some e-mail Valentines ;-)
0616 - Well, that wasn't very useful. The CW was just "hfunderground.com" sent 2X...  73 and gn all

Copying SSTV images from R. Amphetamine on 6925 kHz USB
Let me see if I can attach / insert an image...
Humm, can't seem to do so. First image was 30oct15 UTC at 0059
Now on CW

02nov15 - Ah, ha! I figured it out - gotta use Additional options / Attach (below), not the Insert
icon (above)
