UNID 6930 USB 0108 UTC 11 NOV 2022
« on: November 11, 2022, 0108 UTC »
24333    S+N: -81 dBm   SNR: ---    S: 7.5
0108: Just came on air, UNID so far, but this is Gordon Lightfoot, which was played on (I think) Thunder Chicken Radio earlier. ("Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald")
0114: Carrier gone? Don't hear anything.
0116: Back on air; same song continues.

Pretty weak signal.
0122: -dead air again-
0125: Bell ringing, repeatedly.
0128: WOTEF playing again. Note that the EF went down November 10, 1975 ("today" local time). Nice of you to remember.


Thank you for the broadcast!

6930 USB
0110z Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald anniversary (technically "yesterday" in UTC, but still valid in N. America)
0117z Again, after dead air for a minute
0124z Ship's bells after song
0128z Song again, signal fading now.

Per MD SDR, rough conditions, crashy and fadey.

0132z Still fair to good via Utah SDR. As per usual recently, band is going long in the evening.
