Radio GaGa 6940 DSB 0028 UTC 24 Jan 2015
« on: January 24, 2015, 0033 UTC »
Very distorted audio here. Not sure who or what this is.
Sounds like music and then an OM talking.
Radio GaGa ID at 0035z.

The audio quality did improve.

A steady S6 peaking to S7 here in southern Maryland.  Seems to be Independent Sideband rather than a traditional AM double sideband as there is no carrier.

"Some Day Never Comes" by CCR. Good signal strength but seems to have no low end audio. AF spectrum looks like there's nothing below about 200 Hz.
