Dutch vocal music. Low modulation level with little bass. SIO 322 on a UK SDR.

Peskie QRM at -4 KHz moved down to 6288 USB. Sounds like Dutch language.

Weak here but listenable. Sometimes below the noise.  I have them on 6974.9.
Link-11 data station on 6972.5-6974.5 most of the time after 0130 UTC, so I'm filtering out most of the LSB.

I'm digging the tunage though.

Presumed to be Nowhere Radio.

I'm trying my best and as suggested just ignore the the negative Twxt

Go away Charlie, we're all tired of you.

We're not looking for you to be performing on-the-job training and you've shown yourself to be less than transparent. If you can't be trusted to get basic, important details right the first time, why should we trust you now?

I, for one, would like to see more details and inspection, not less. Your attitude leaves me with the impression that you are trying to prevent inquiry and hard questioning, and it's clear that I am not alone.

Reading back through some of these posts over the past 12-18 months just now, I can tell from your statements and answers that you might not be the right person to be making transmitters for anyone but yourself. I don't get a confident feeling that you know what you are doing.

1925 - Announcing Radio Continental via Radio Piepzender, with a guest DJ in a few minutes. Email address looking for music requests. Announcer was wondering if "Mr. Jock" (Wilson) was listening this evening.

One thing I noticed about this station is that he has just enough 50 Hertz (either hum or residual from his power supply) on either side of his carrier to make listening with the Kiwi synchronous AM detector somewhat unpleasant because the 50 Hertz produces a "motorboating" or pulsing of the audio.
