UNID 6930.4 AM
« on: September 01, 2012, 0244 UTC »
Came on about 0235Z about S6 on the west coast. Some strange sounds at the beginning and then spoken dialogue which was hard to hear as the modulation was low. Now into jazz with much stronger audio at 0244Z
0254Z into a livelier jazz number...Take Five, I think it's called...could be wrong
0305Z still playing mellow jazz featuring piano and sax mainly. There was a voice ID a few minutes ago but very hard to make out as it was quite muffled sounding. The music sounds nice and clean though.
0320 now a couple of guys ranting on about Alex Jones...
0334Z went off the air suddenly...never got an ID

I've been listening to them here too.  Very weak in KY, at my noise level S3 with jazz @0249z.

Had them loud and clear (S-6+) in northern Canada EXCEPT the voice was very low and muffled. Sounded like an EQ proplem. The music, however, sounded great.

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

The audio at the beginning sounded like the same odd sounds heard earlier on 6924.47 kHz. The signal was much weaker here, however.  Jazz type music heard around 0301z.

Peaked around 0330z here, for a minute or two. Off just before 0334z.

Heard some instrumental music 0336z to 0338z. I think it was another station, also AM. Indeed, the UNID reported here seemed to have a carrier of 6930.237 kHz while the 0336z station was on 6929.974 kHz.
