Also have this in the Boston burbs, maybe S3 at most. Strange conversations and monologues with English and German (?) accents?

To be polite, this is essentially a dead carrier, which is why it probably isn't getting more logs. Very strong carrier, but almost nil audio. Basically a dead carrier.

Very variable signal perhaps due to my antenna whipping around in the wind. Peaks to S8 but a lot of fast fades and local noise this morning.

AM signal playing music, almost sounded like the Dropkick Murphies, then into a voice ID (??). Signal is not strong in the Boston burbs and the audio may be a little low.

There was a pretty clear "UNID TONES" ID in a computer YL voice a minute ago. Then something said about carbon based life forms, then back into ambient electronic music.

Noted here in the Boston burbs playing electric guitar Christmas music at 1229z. Not very strong here, just above the noise, S1-S2 signal strength.

I caught the 1720 AM transmission by Undercover Radio. S5-S6 signal in the Boston burbs. Some moderate fading. The deep announcer voice was a little difficult to discern in the noise.

Some notes from the recording:

0055z - Announcer talking about Uncle Hal (?)
0057z - Announcer talking about questions in the back of your mind..
0044z - Laurie Anderson, "Gravity's Angel"
0049z - Laurie Anderson, "Excellent Birds"
0105z - Laurie Anderson, "The Puppet Motel"

Receiver setup was NetSDR with 325' skyloop.

Peskies / UNID "Bahstahds" 6282 USB 1320 UTC 13 DEC 2022

« on: December 13, 2022, 1336 UTC »

"Bahstahds" (northeast USA accented English) noted this morning on 6282 KHz USB, casual conversation about a new fiber optic cable being laid across one of their fishing grounds, and miscellaneous stuff about fishing. Terminated at about 1330 UTC "to go get them up" (the crew?). This frequency has had similar USA fishermen ops in the past.
