KPZL Puzzle Radio 6933 kHz CW 2328 UTC October 31 2013
« on: October 31, 2013, 2334 UTC »
KPZL, Puzzle Radio, on 6933 kHz CW.  Weak and still a bit early to make much out, but clear ID in CW and catching bits and pieces of it.  "vampires roam on halloween" "all and seething with spite" "steganographia happy halloween KPZL puzzle radio", etc

Restarting 2334 UTC it sounds like.

Heard here around 0014, with the VFO drifting all around. On purpose for Halloween, I think :-)

Recorder catch:

Receiver parked on 6932 USB

This must of been what I heard last night tuning around - haven't had a chance to confirm, but I'm betting it was KPZL
