Radio Altrex 6290 AM 1739 utc 08 Apr 2020
« on: April 08, 2020, 1741 UTC »
1739 - Rammstein song. SINPO 22333 on an SDR in Norway. I have their carrier frequency as 6289.8 KHz. Waiting for ID. There is CW on 6284 KHz.
1748 - There is another carrier on 6289.9.  :(
1751 - The orginal carrier on 6289.8 is off the air. The carrier on 6289.9 now has modulation. I guess that this was a "handoff". Rock music.
1800+ - Somebody cycling through snippets of songs on their music playlist, playing 30 seconds of each song then going onto the next one. Boring.
1817 - Cow mooing between songs.
1827 - Cow mooing again.
1835 - Cow
1839 - Announcer in Dutch-accented English: ID and close-down announcement. "Starting to get dark."
1846 - TX off the air.

How did you obtain the ID? Is the cow mooing the ID?

Well, that's the same moo's as usual for a few weeks now.
So, say it's a tentative ID till there is a real ID on the air.

OK, I have not been paying attention and this the first time that I have heard them.
