Other / Russian voice traffic 6943 KHz USB 2258 UTC 2/18/2013

« on: February 18, 2013, 2304 UTC »

I briefly had two Russians (presumed) going back and forth on 6943 KHz USB at 2258 UTC. It sounds like they may have been in aircraft but this is only thin speculation. Audio was very constricted, like possibly wearing oxygen masks. Signal strength was not strong.

Clear ID heard by the male/female announcer team at 0003 UTC (2/18). Not particularly strong here; about S1 or S2 with some infrequent travels up to about S4. Carrier dropped at 0005 UTC but then returned a minute later and is now ongoing with music.

Radio Morania signed on at 6925.5 KHz AM with a nice S9 signal at 2237. "The voice of the free Moranian empire". Some moderate fading for this classic relay.

Carrier noted at 2129, then a WMPR ID and into the usual electronic music format. Signal is peaking to S9 but moderate to heavy fading.

Zevon-fest. Started out peaking at S9 when I tuned in at 2314 UTC, but has slid back to S3-S5.
