1858 - CW ID

I have been hearing AR for the past hour or so
while working on some other projects. CW is
far down in the noise - could copy just enough
to catch that it is AR. NO copy of any of the SSTV.
Maybe later when the prop improves...

2343 - Just can make out a bit of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"
          by Pink Floyd but mostly in the noise

Barely above the noise here. Seems to be back ~2024.
Electronic mx for sure but I don't recognize it.
2027 - sig is up above the noise but fading again
2037 - rap(?)
2042 - "Like a Heatwave" - like we're having down here!
2046 - CW ID - good ol' Amphetamine Radio! Thanks for the CW ID,
          I missed the voice ID. Sig is getting a little better now.

Bummer. I spent many a late hour buried in K&R C - the real C,
before the days of OOP and C++ and Visual C

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: UNID 6925 USB 0224 UTC 17 Oct 2016

« on: October 17, 2016, 0309 UTC »

0224 - "Nights In White Satin", Moody Blues
0231 - "In A Gadda Davida", Iron Butterfly
0248 - SSTV w/ID of Pee Wee
0251 - unk mx
0253 - off in mid-mx
0258 - back on w/"We Got to Get Out of This Place"
0301 - SSTV, same as previous
0308 - "Man of Constant Sorrow", Oh, Brother soundtrack

Sig has been up and down, peaking ~S7 w/good audio.
I was working on an e-mail describing my continuing
PC video card problems when, all of a sudden, my ears
were treated to the opening bars of "Nights...". Ahhh,
memories of the days of my mis-spent youth!
Thanks, Pee Wee, I needed that!

I sometimes hear big band mx on this freq,
even in the middle of the day but always
just barely above the noise level. I heard it
sometime this afternoon and I could barely
make out the mx but couldn't even see it
in the waterfall. Sure wish someone could
ID this station - I think it is always the same
station.

1235 - Been hearing ~SIO 222 at best, but sometimes
          a little better, since ~1220. I can see it on the
          SDR-IQ better than I can hear it!
          Thanks for the ID Chris

0211 - sounds like a comedy skit but sig is
         too weak for me to recover much.
         Anyone else???
0218 - mx about "la-la-la-la-la" sig is peaking
          occasionally. Sounds kinda like Big Band
          but maybe in Italian???
0222 - seems to be gone

Unkn mx, best(?) sound was in NFM mode, gone at 1333
Screen print image is too large to post here.
Anyone catch on SDR recording?

Chris,
Thanks. It took a bit of doing but take a look at:
http://imgur.com/a/ZdtLB
imgur is a new one on me but very useful. I will
have to remember that. Right now, the only
way I have to save a screen print is to paste it
into a Word document. I'm still using SpectraVue
mainly because I'm used to it but even its capture
files are too large to post.
