Unid 6925 AM and USB
« on: April 21, 2012, 0412 UTC »
4/21/12, 6925 AM, 0410z: Sounds like monologue, rough copy due to fades and being adjacent to Undercover Radio on 6920 USB.
The monologue seems to be 6925 USB, and there's an AM station with strong carrier, so there may be three stations on between 6920 and 6925?
0416z: AM carrier gone, still hearing some OM monologue on USB, so there were at least two stations on 6925 for awhile.  Never heard any audio from the AM station here or via east coast web tuner.  OM monologue similar to recent "Dr Who and friends" broadcasts, similar political/social commentary themes.
0424z: Talking about alcohol, illegal drugs, drug addicts, morphine vs heroin, gummint propaganda via shortwave, rules aimed at VOA to restrict deliberately transmitting propaganda to domestic listeners.
0444z: Band changed, inaudible at home but stronger via east coast web tuner.
0506z: Some reference to Dr. Who in discussion, still not sure if this is same Dr Who and Friends in recent broadcasts.

I had the AM station starting at around 0352z on the SDR recording. Pretty strong signal, S9. OM singing "A Pirate I Be", swishing VFO style audio effects, may be part of the song.

Captain Morgan ID on the AM station at 0404.

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 333-433

Good signal with some fading at times.  This was a bit of a QRM fest - Captain Morgan was in progress when Dr. Who come on and then later was getting QRM'd by Peepee Vagina Radio.

04:00z-05:54z Dr. Who Radio & Friends show

Thanks for the broadcasts :)
