Blue Ocean Radio 6925 USB
« on: July 06, 2012, 0449 UTC »
7/6/12, 6925 USB, 0445z: Long John Baldry "Stormy Monday" and more blues.  ID confirmed via IRC.
0453z: Sounds like "I'd Rather Go Blind", not sure which version, maybe Etta James (nope, Koko Taylor)?
0503z: Blue Ocean Radio ID
0509z: Sheryl Crow "Can't Cry Anymore".  Also hearing odd moaning sound effects, which BOR op says isn't him.  Not sure if deliberate QRM or some sorta ute I haven't heard before.  Same sound effects audible on home receiver.
0514z: Sarah Maclachlan "Arms of an Angel"
0517z: "People Get Ready" - odd QRM still just audible beneath BOR, sounds somewhat digitalish.
0521z: k.d. lang "Constant Craving"
0530z: Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" (moaning noises stopped)

Good via western North American remote tuners, just barely audible here at home via the indoor rx/antenna.  The odd moaning/digitalish QRM was audible via two or three different remotes, and via my own home receiver.

A couple of years ago I recorded a similar digitalish sounding howling/moaning noise with a comb filter type effect, near 6915 and elsewhere on the funny bands.  Seemed to be some sort of official data/ute comms, not necessarily deliberate QRM.

Off-air recording from around 0515z, with odd noises audible in background.

Are you hearing them in AM or USB Lex?
OK, I took your advice and went to the Western Canada receiver. I can hear them quite well now. I wasn't getting anything on my receiver in West Texas. Thanks!

OK, thank you BOR. Lex, I am not hearing the moaning. I am going too switch to the Grand Junction Colorado online receiver to see if I can hear it.

0520z, Lex, I AM hearing it now on the Colorado receiver. That is kind of a disturbing sound whatever it is.

0611z, Blue Ocean Radio still going strong. I have to get some sleep. Thank you for a great show (as always).

just tuned in to BOR
0514z: Sarah Maclachlan "Arms of an Angel"
very good signal into the Los Angeles area. There sounds like there is another station on same frequency on background. Other station is weaker and sounds like howling noises.
Constant Craving at 05:23 utc with moaning and howling noises on background

Hey everyone those howling noises are getting strong at my location. They are getting stronger than Ocean Blue Radio at times. at 05:35 UTC

Just checked, seems to be USB only.

Glad to hear the moaning has stopped....BOR  ;D ;D ;D

I went back to the Western Canada online receiver. I can hear it sometimes coming in but BOR is definitely dominate on this receiver anyway (http://www.globaltuners.com/receiver/vk4fsgw.php?receiver=798).

That Koko Taylor cover of "I'd Rather Go Blind" is a fave of mine. Too bad I couldn't hear anything but the growler.
