The Wailers didn't become "Bob Marley and The Wailers" until the album after "I Shot The Sheriff" appeared on. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the trio and Bob got a backing band and kept the Wailers name. Bob was the front man of the Wailing Wailers vocal trio for years.

As far as I know, Bunny is the only one left alive. Peter and Bob died young. Peter was murdered in Jamaica, and Bob, of course, died of cancer. I don't think either of them made 40?

That station looks like "6925 Free USB", on 6925 USB
with "I shot the sheriff" at the same time,
and all else due to too much beer...

original subject was : 6924 AM UNID S9 04;46 GMT
I change that to (still) UNID in standard HF-U format:
UNID 6924 AM 0446 UTC 06 Aug 2022

Please see this thread: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100337.0.html

This stations sent SSTV images identifying it as “6925 Free Radio” so it is not UNID. The mode was FM until it switched to USB at 0502 UTC and the frequency was 6925 kHz.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

Bob Marley was 36, but Peter Tosh was 42, though around five weeks shy of 43. FWIW.

Surely, TheHappyWanker is not mastering his IC-7300.
Possible explanation : detection of the NBFM signal on the side of the AM filter when the set was tuned 1 kHz low (so an FM signal becomes a distorted AM signal).
