DB Cooper Radio 6950 AM 2337 UTC 24 NOV 2022
« on: November 24, 2022, 2340 UTC »
Good S8 SSTV Images coming through in 6950 AM here in Central Wisconsin. Recording SSTV signals have decoded them yet. Broadcast begins with Radar Love by Golden Earring. Good copy on AM signal but audio a little distorted or overdriven. DB Cooper news flashes from CBS news. Now music a little distorted but all music seems to be about DB Cooper. Drama about DB Cooper activities on airline. More Music. Signal dropping to S6-S7 battling with band noise now. No stated ID yet. Guess its DB Cooper Radio. Off.

23:40 UTC - Weak readable with music - Radar Love. Actual frequency 6950.620 kHz;
23:44 UTC - Conditions appear to be improving. The signal is much better now.

2341 UTC : Weak music. Before that the SSTV image was the wanted poster for DB Cooper, didn't get a good decode here.

2355 UTC 433 decent carrier but audio is way down and currently below my noise level through my SDR direct.
2355 I can't pick out faint hints of music but will have to see if conditions and/or modulation improves.
