Lots of carriers, no audio
« on: July 28, 2011, 0556 UTC »

Outdoors with Sony ICF-2010 and loop antenna.
Heard carriers on 6815, 6930, 6940, 6960 and 6977 but no intelligible audio.
6815: Strongest carrier but virtually no intelligible audio to accompany it.  Mostly buried under nearly continuous CW.
6930: As noted in another log, heard nearly continuous narrative in male voice from around 0345-0415z, but not quite clear enough to copy content or ID.
6940z: Weak, fadey carrier, presumably Laser Hot Hits from Europe.
6960z: Fair carrier, no audio.
6977.3 (approx): Presumably Radio Anarchy testing, per IRC.  Only able to copy sine wave test tones.

Heavy static crashes.  Even aviation weather on 6604 and 6754 were weaker than usual.  AFN fair on 5446.5, good on 7811 and 12133.5.

I hear lots of this one, but RTTY 2 KHz up usually clobbers it.

Peace!

The band sounded great when I went on,but I guess they turned on HAARP and fried the ionosphere  ;)
