6925.77 AM SIO 232

Have a weak carrier that's been on for a bit, but no discernable audio so far.

22:30z first noted carrier
23:31z signal has barely come up a bit for me to tell there's music playing
23:48z still there, but losing lock now
00:46z getting bits & pieces of music again
00:50z a second carrier just showed up for a second
01:34z male talking, but can't make it out
05:22z carrier off

Audio (01:34z-01:35z): http://archive.org/download/ShortwaveOddsSodsTransmissions/Unid_pirate6925_77Am0134z-00135z11-30-12.mp3

Thanks :)

0045 got enough audio to ID a Christmas song.  Almost sounded like something off the Charlie Brown Christmans album, but not sure.

Signal up a little now in Kentucky.  Playing 'A Change at Christmas (Say it isn't so) by The Flaming Lips @0117z.
S3 to S4 with S3 noise.

Signal up again @ 0155z, playing 'Like This for Ages' by Cupol [song ID courtesy of Shazam ;-)
Occasionally can hear announcers, but cannot pull out any words...

Thanks for the show!

The carrier is still present @ 0135 utc - weak with little or no modulation detected.
It simply drones on like a weak under-modulated SW station. I copy a good trace
On the G31DDC receiver showing a consistent fading pattern.

Now @ 0140 UTC a significant increase in signal strength and still no detected, at
least at this signal level. Modulation should easily be heard with a carrier at this level.
