Locomotive Radio 6985 AM 2315 UTC 28 DEC 2022
« on: December 28, 2022, 2330 UTC »
S8-S9 AM Signal with early 1970s rock with buzzing interference. Interference disappeared low level YL ID didn't catch it at 2330. Sudden downing of signal to S1 at 2340. Upon review of my recording YL ID was Locomotive Radio.

To be polite, this is essentially a dead carrier, which is why it probably isn't getting more logs. Very strong carrier, but almost nil audio. Basically a dead carrier.

S7 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR. Terrible QRM from Peskies and low and tinny modulation.

2355 UTC-Ticket to Ride by The Beatles
2358 UTC-Next song (Johnny Cash?) but reception very poor
0001 UTC-Hello to the people posting on the HFU, something about the feed line, doing something one more time before we sign off
0002 UTC-OFF

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.

A case of negative modulation?
