Ion Radio 6870 AM 0100 UTC 27 Jun 2021
« on: June 27, 2021, 0100 UTC »
UNID 6870.0 kHz AM 01:00 UTC 27 JUNE 2021
Had been observing the unmodulated carrier since 00:55. Signal is an S7 to S9;

01:00 UTC - Broadcast started with music;
01:03 UTC - What sounds like radio jingles or radio ads;
01:10 UTC - Going into some deep fade periods;
01:40 UTC - Nothing further heard.

BigAl, thank you for the ID at 01:03 UTC.

Tuned in at 0108utc on Barrington Hills IL sdr, weak noisy signal, barely hear audio even using sync am mode,
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
