KARR 6925U
« on: February 26, 2011, 0031 UTC »
2/26/11
6925 USB
Since around 0015z hearing rock music, not taking notes.  Sounds like Three Doors Down, not sure.
0030z: KARR cylon voice ID
0100z: Alice in Chains set now
0130z: Megadeth set, "Foreclosure of a Dream", others.
0136z: Sounds like anncr voice live on mic, something about "...on the highways, byways..." couldn't copy rest
0155z: Human voice ID after a bunch of music I didn't recognize because I'm unhip

Generally good signal with some rapid fades.

Odd that sat_dxer is hearing distorted audio.  Most of the time here the audio is really very good and the singal level is down to S9 at the bottoms of the fades.  Slightly over 3 kHz wide and bottom end roll-off is below 50 Hz.  Between songs during dead air there is some pretty large hum though.

id at 0136UT as "Kilo Alpha Romeo Romeo mobile" "hello to the west coast" music audio sounds terrible in SSB.
id at 0156UT "thank you for listening"
fading in & out

by golly a twist of the vfo does bring in real hi fidelity :-[

Sounds okay here.  Twist the VFO thingie until the terrible goes away.

LOL!  Been there, done that.  Pirates on sideband give your VFO fine tuning skills a good workout.  (Not a criticism - chasing those signals is part of the fun.  ;D
