Radio Dr. Tim (Carrier+) 6958.9 AM 2146 UTC 20 Oct 2019

I have the carrier again as I did last night, but still no detectable audio
Carrier varies in strength, but best in USB to avoid some ute QRM on the low side
I had a few seconds of audio here at about 2159-2200 UTC that sounded like the Theme from the Lone Ranger

Hello Skipmuck,

Not even the faintest carrier here when I saw your post around 2200 UTC.
That frequency was not in your previous posts for Europe, maybe it was posted elsewhere ?

At first, you posted it as Unid.
How did you find it was Dr Tim ?
Are you aware of any Dr Tim frequencies outside of the 6200-6350 range ?
