The Ghoul 6325 AM 1824 UTC 28 April 2018
« on: April 28, 2018, 1828 UTC »
1824 UTC - Pop music.Bad QRM from 6320 KHz and some sort of utility on 6321-6324 KHz so making the choice between two bad options, I have to listen in LSB. SINPO 11331 in Italy. Not going to check this frequency much because reception sucks here.

1908 UTC - Carrier still there but still getting heavy QRM.
1931 UTC - QRM has improved and I can now listen on the USB with occasional bursts of digital QRM. Freq noted as 6325.21KHz.
1935 UTC - Something that sounds like a skit between and man and a woman then into more pop music.
1940 UTC - Signal on 6320 is gone and can use LSB to listen.
1955 UTC - Talk by English accented announcer. Sounds a lot like The Ghoul from yesterday.
2001 UTC - Signal is improving here.
2003 UTC - ID and email address but couldn't understand it. Should have made a recording!
2015 UTC - "Free radio on shortwave, The Ghoul."
2021 UTC - Talk about using a laser to replace a vinyl record stylus. Repeat from yesterday.
2029 UTC - Bogus advert for Viagra.

I have things to do. I'm tuning out. Ciao.

1946 music,
2059 strong, talking,music, (but RTTY QRM)

Not sure between Bogusman and The Ghoul,

It seems that the station operator is not sure as well!  :D
