Shazam ID'ed song as "Mexican Dream" Piero Piccioni @ 0255z, but I wouldn't bet the house.
Heavy drift downwards.
offset = 6925.222, dropping a few hz./minute
Carrier drop @ 0248z
offset = 6925.12 at end of broadcast

S9+ into Fort Smith AR

RSPdx/20x20 LOG + CCW loop kit

0232 6925.2, poor into western NC SDR, guitar solo, as mentioned it's noisy out tonight, getting us ready for summer.

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

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.
