WTF Radio Worldwide 6960 AM 0108 UTC 14 August 2022
« on: August 14, 2022, 0108 UTC »
Just happened to notice the carrier on my waterfall at the moment the TX went on.

0108 - spacy, electronic music. S7, SINPO 45444 on an SDR in Ohio.
0111 - "WTF Radio Worldwide, checking out the transmitter this evening. Blowing the dust off of it."
0128 - Stereolab

Reception noisy into Charles Town WV, so i am listening on WEBSDR, K3FEF in PA.  Seems like the audio is slightly over modulated or clipping the audio.  Perhaps just a tad hot?  Or is this just me? 

Thanks for the show!!!
Icom 7300 with G5RV INSIDE the attic, unless specified otherwise.

Too many radios to list.  Mini-whip, Home-brew Mag-loop, are also on the antenna switch.
