UNID 6955 AM 1700 UTC 29 Oct 2017
« on: October 29, 2017, 1714 UTC »
Carrier popped up around 1700z, haven't heard any modulation yet though.  Some fading, but ranging from S3 to S5 signal strength on the carrier.    Lots of fading, some of it quite rapid, but good signal on the peaks.  Sounds best in AMN / narrow AM mode 5 kHz bandwidth.

1715 UTC - some modulated noted, with tropical sounding dance music
1718 UTC - signal jumped up from S5 to S7
1719 UTC - more Latin sounding music with Spanish speaking YL singer
1723 UTC - Pixies - Where Is My Mind?
1728 UTC - bits and pieces of modulation now, signal is back down to S3-S4 level
1732 UTC - checked NY SDRs and have better signal there
1733 UTC - Lou Reed - Makeup
1735 UTC - Steve Miller Band - The Joker
1736 UTC - S5 signal strength but much better copy than before
1738 UTC - some rapid fading
1739 UTC - several false starts, then into
1740 UTC - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Nowhere To Run
1742 UTC - The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice
1744 UTC - some sort of voice traffic QRM on top of audio
1745 UTC - Marvin Gaye - How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You (live version)
1750 UTC - Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love
1755 UTC - OFF
