Weekend Music Radio via ? 6950 AM 2159 UTC 20 MAY 2023

[Skipmuck]

2159 UTC I'm hearing a weak signal here...could be European? "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"-Gordon Lightfoot
2201 UTC Some local? QRN at the moment...
2205 UTC OM speaking but nada on the copy
Thanks MP! Sadly, there is some annoying QRN killing the signal...I don't see any posts yet in the European forum...
2212 UTC QRN is gone! Music now, but I don't recognize the song...choppy fading so likely a Euro
2213 UTC OM talking now
2216 UTC "Lying Eyes"-Eagles
2222 UTC OM speaking now...still no luck on the copy
2226 UTC Unid song-OM singer
2230 UTC OM DJ chat..possibly ID just before the next song?
2233 UTC "You're So Vain"-Carly Simon (Getting some S7 peaks now...nice!)
2237 UTC OM DJ, followed by "Tiny Dancer"-Elton John
2243 UTC OM DJ, followed by "Traveling Band"-CCR
2246 UTC ID string now...Weekend Music Radio! Followed by music and OM DJ chat
(Now the question is...European or more likely a North American relayer?)
2251 UTC ID by OM, followed by "Maggie May"-Rod Stewart
Thanks for the info Big Badfish Al...I will move it to European. Interestingly, the playlist matches the earlier Weekend Music Radio post on 6295!
2306 UTC "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"-Gordon Lightfoot (Perhaps the show is being repeated?)
2322 UTC "Lying Eyes"-Eagles (So the show is repeating!)

Thanks to Weekend Music Radio and whoever is relaying this! If there is any chance of an eQSL I would greatly appreciate it! I understand if you don't QSL...."via the mystery relayer"...LOL

Here's a link to my recording of direct across the pond from 2159-2259 UTC...once you get past 2212 UTC the signal gets better and better until the end of the recording:

[Molvania Poacher]

SINPO=22222
2203- "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot, but with major ute QRM right on top of the signal.
2205- OM speaking.
2209- Back to music, with a soft pop ballad and OM vocals.

2219- Just came back to radio to "Lyin' Eyes" by The Eagles, but still way down in the QRN (with ute QRM now gone).

2227- Checking back in, hearing "Visions" by The Eagles.

Signal stronger now, at SINPO=33222
2238- "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John.
2244- Travelin' Band" by CCR.

Nice catch, Skip! My guess is a European, based on characteristics and time of evening.

[Ct Yankee]

2234 Faint music.  Low noise floor, music just above it.

[Rob.]

S8 peaks here, Carly Simon now.

[bcoggs]

2236 Your So Vain - Carly Simon

Only just discernable w/headphones

[ChrisLobdel]

2242 Music ….. lots of local noise here so can’t understand much S5

[Big Badfish Al]

Weekend Music Radio. Most likely a European since it is like SIO:444 in the Netherlands and on other European sdr.

[KMD3HR]

Music
SIO 333 some qrm
Soul music

[Shortwave_Listener]

(Now the question is...European or more likely a North American relayer?)

Much stronger on a UK SDR, definitely from Europe.

[Molvania Poacher]

It was all the characteristics of a signal from Europe, from my vantage point. That's my vote. Thanks again for the nice catch and tip, Skip!

6295 went off air around 23:00 UK time so perhaps the guy moved to 6950

[Radio Star]

S6 SIO: 333
2301 - "Sundown" - Gordon Lightfoot
2341 - "You're So Vain" - Carly Simon
2352 - OM W/ ID: "We Are, Weekend Music Radio"

[Andrew Yoder]

Hope it improves . . . not much audio making it here

[Dr. Strangelove]

Really low signal here with some Peskie qrm
