WTF Radio Worldwide 6925 USB 0027 UTC 18 Jun 2021

What the Frequency, WTF Radio Worldwide 6925.0 kHz USB 00:27 UTC 18 JUNE 2021

0027 UTC - Station ID followed by announcer: "Anyone remember the local record store? Let's start with A";
00:37 UTC - Station ID: WTF Radio Worldwide;
00:42 UTC - The signal is booming in peaking +20 with +/- 3 kHz of bandwidth;
00:54 UTC - Going through a little bit of a fade period. On the letter J;
01:06 UTC - Station ID;
01:27 UTC - Going through another bit of a fade period. Station ID and onto the letter T in the record isle;
01:47 UTC - Station ID and onto the letter Z;
01:51 UTC - End of broadcast with station ID: What the Frequency, WTF Radio Worldwide.

Thank you for taking us for a stroll at the record store and down the vinyl isle --- A to Z.
P.S. The Zombies would have been a good choice for 'Z'.


Note: 01:10 UTC - This is unrelated but interesting. I just copied a US Military UTE with a coded message on 6945.0 kHz USB. Same type you usually get on HFGCS frequencies. This is an unusual frequency to find this UTE.

00:56 S7 - S9 on the vermont mountaintop SDR, been actually listening since INXS gave us a New Sensation, going to see if I can get this on my DX-160 and report back

could just barely make it out over local noise, neighborhood noise conditions in that freq region seems pretty bad tonight, might move my setup to another room later. Central NH if that matters.
I'm going to drink the rest of my beer to soothe my radio woes.
also thanks for the Police just as I hopped back onto the internet SDR, one of my favorite bands.

01:51 ID and off
like thanks for the show, like totally.

Note: 01:10 UTC - This is unrelated but interesting. I just copied a US Military UTE with coded message on 6945.0 kHz. Same type you usually get on HFGCS frequencies. This is an unusual frequency to find this UTE.

I picked this up as well, it was stronger on my home radio than WTF was actually, very strange.
