6940am Update WWCR 0203z 7-26-2010
« on: July 26, 2010, 0204 UTC »
More as available

0205z 6940.00 kHz, too weak for a good copy ATTM

Talk, not music, format so far ...

0220z Signal has been weaker than previously experienced, carrier still detected ...

0224z Only snippets of speech coming through occasionally ... a source of QRM has cropped up too, a noisy, slowly sweeping narrow band signal that sweeps from 2 up to 3.5 kHz and back down just above the 6940 kHz carrier frequency ...

0314z Sig strength has picked up considerably ... this sounds like a commercial SW service; pgm content ATTM is male speaking; sounds like a preacher/teaching session.

I was/am unaware that this frequency is used/assigned for broadcasting ... maybe in another hemisphere at this time?

0344z Detecting a slight echo on this signal as well ... may be a very long path involved as well as the primary path ...

0405z ID and address heard, but not copied (weak signal+ some QRN) - commercial/paid for/religious broadcast

This station (on 6940) in the future will not be reported/logged.

0513z **Update** This is carrying WWCR program material ... do they have a mixing product they transmit? Remember two different receivers and two different antennas pick this up! The signal has gotten strong enough to copy the audio ...
