wideband S9+10 signal, pop tune then off, now on 6928/L
with strong very wide signal. (Hassig-IL)
6/18, 0158-0200. 6928/L (S9+10 with the K9VD KiwiSDR. Same
station as 6930 LSB a few minutes ago.)
0158 ON; White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic
0200 OFF (Bandura)
6/19, 0059-0248*, 6974.9/AM; Carrier appeared @0059, with no
audio. Accompanied by a nice band of local noise—thanks,
neighbors! Heard music @0100, but the programming was
unusable until sign-off—the signal was too weak & the
noise too much. (25241, Hunsicker, PA)
6/19, 0325-0331, 6955/AM (S9+30 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR)
0325 Carrier with hardly any modulation, on and off
0327 Now very distorted and overmodulated classical music
0331 OFF (Bandura)
6/19, 0842-0923*, 6925/AM; Carrier appeared then audio. Caribbean
music, a little distorted. Almost 50 dB above the background
noise, then drops to only 15 to 20 dB above, then up to 30
to 40 over. Carrier nubbin remained for about a half hour.
(At best, 45343, Hunsicker, PA)
6/19, 1840-1847*, 6960/AM; Program in progress with faint music.
The signal was never “usable.” Technical problems & gone
@1847. At 28 dB over the noise, it should have been better.
(Hunsicker, PA)
6/20, 0229-0328*, 6950/AM; Broadcast in progress with faint
music. Only 16 dB above the background noise, so it never
had a chance. (15351, Hunsicker, PA)

COMMENTARIOS
Harold Frodge: My availability to edit the FRW has dropped
considerably. (No, I don’t have a terminal disease.) New
volunteers to edit the FRW would be greatly appreciated to
ease the extra load falling on Larry & Dave. Volunteer!
