KOTH 6925 AM>6935 USB 0317 UTC JULY 5, 2015
« on: July 05, 2015, 0328 UTC »
0317 UTC Heard 2 carriers around 6925, one of which I assume is Liquid on 6925.2ish with no audio heard here. The other seems to have been on 6925 exact more or less with UNID garage/punk rock tune, 0319 UTC with OM mentioning KOTH QRP test with 25 watts...gone or faded out about 0321 UTC
0330 UTC OM voice rising out of the noise again with "KOTH...6925" and gone again
0335 UTC Seems to have QSY'd to 6935 USB! Hearing OM chatting intermittently now
0336 UTC Alternative grunge tune now(signal dropping in and out just a bit but audio sounds much clearer than earlier :))
0342 UTC I heard that also kilokat! It sounded like another op coming in on top
for a few seconds but I couldn't make out what was said
0347 UTC "Modern Love"-David Bowie

Thanks for the tests today KOTH! Hearing you very well now but it's time to hit the sack...hope for more soon!

Also heard here with poor to fair signal, better when using SSB modes.
Radio checks and Id's using various QRP power levels in USB, LSB, and AM, also played a couple of songs.
Clear ID in USB @ 0322 and off.  Liquid Radio in background on 6925.2

On 6935 USB @ 0333, testing with 25 watts.  Asking for reports on HF Underground.
Down to 2 (or was it 10?) watts @ 0334.  S7

It sounded like a catfight on 6925 when both were on. I tuned away from 6935 when Radio Appalachia went off and haven't been there since.
