Radio Now 6925 USB 0250 UTC 9 JAN 2023
« on: January 09, 2023, 1540 UTC »
0250 UTC Caught this as I was closing down the radio room for the evening...sounded like an advertisement from a commercial station followed by OM's with spoken word. Faded out at 0303 UTC (or OFF?).

Here's my recording:

My nephew is an actor. He lives in that region due to all the work in the small to medium sized theaters out there. I hope he didn't pick up the pirating bug from me? I'd have to disown him for transmitting in SSB.

I used to string wires in the big pin oak trees in their backyard and play radio, he knows how it's done.
