UNID 6964 KHZ AM? 1400-1403* UTC APRIL 19, 2015

One last check before heading out to the backyard, and caught the end of an eerie sounding trance instrumental at S5 amidst the neighbors solar power microinverter buzz, then man announcer (couldn't make out what he said), then more trance music until 1403 UTC and off. Tuned in on AM, but used USB to cut through some of the noise. Interesting and spooky :o
Whoever you were....how about an email to assure me I wasn't hearing things 8)

SDR recording catch. 1335 sign on with an S8 to S9 signal.  Interesting music, thanks for the show!

So no Skipmuck - you weren't hearing things :-)

Thanks Chris!  8) Now if I could have only turned the cassette recorder on I might have been able to ferret out what the announcer was saying at 1400 UTC....

Skipmuck, I checked my recording from 1353 to 1403 sign off, and could not find any announcement.
