Radio Merlin Int. 6275 AM 0903 utc 27 Apr 2020
« on: April 27, 2020, 0905 UTC »
on 6270.15
0903 jazz/R&B, 0905 "The wanderer", 0907 Fox 48? (noisy),
0908 rock-pop (with sneakers..), R&R, 0912 Fox 48??, R&R, 0917
(0927 no signal)

EDIT :
This tip was originally logged on 6270 kHz.
According to investigation (see below), it appears that I erred, and that the signal was in fact on 6275 kHz. (For decimals, see further below).
So I change the subject : from Unid 6270 to Merlin 6275 AM

I think I was listening on 6270.15 : that's what I wrote on my paper notepad.
Maybe I wandered in my mind? (but not on the RX: I was on the same channel for about 14 minutes). Can you confirm the details ? (and the Xtal frequency?)

Well, I don't know what happened here. I had 14 minutes to check the frequency,
and usually it takes more than a few seconds to get the decimals of a weak signal.
I disagree with the decimals of all the kiwi SDR I checked so far. The only SDR I'm in accordance 100% of the time up to 0.01 stable, is the Twente SDR when in SAM.
I also check with the Taldom SW signals from time to time: never the least difference when those SW signals are in the right mode (I can't check really when they transmit only short pulses).

6239 : I found a signal on 6239 approx just going off at 0927 utc.
