At threshold level here since 2100 UTC, at times rising above a high noise level. A bit early, but the prop does seem to be kinda lousy over the last half hour or so. Hoping it gets better tonight as the sun sets!
Tough copy on the audio so far, and no ID's heard yet, but I'm certain this is Magic6205
2228 UTC Signal just jumped up a bit over the last couple minutes....lots of fading still though
2250 UTC Sunset has been fully accomplished and the signal seems to have settled down to an S5 with fades, but mostly above the noise. Mostly Europop and dance tunes tonight.
I just checked out the www.magic6205.com website and they have a link to the HF Underground!
Checking in every so often and prop seems to have settled down a bit. Mostly S3 with some nice S5 peaks here. Program seems to be prerecorded....occasionally dipping down into the noise though....

I received this sort of verification statement from PBS Underground via a personal message through the HFU yesterday! I had sent a report to the email address given during the broadcast and then resent the report a few months later via a personal message to the op using the HFU. Thanks Dr. Rock! Nice to know you check in on us now and then....hopefully we can hear some more of the PBS Underground some day!

« on: October 07, 2014, 2301 UTC »

Hearing UNID on 6220.8 KHZ here too at about equal level with 6205 KHZ tonight. Fair amount of band noise and fading here though...
0022 Bouncing back and forth between Magic6250 and 6221-Test tonight and Magic had slight edge at peaks between fades (S7 for 6205 and S5-6 for 6221).... 6221 Closed down a little while ago.

« on: October 07, 2014, 2206 UTC »

Magic into Western MA at 2200 UTC tune in with fair signal and moderate fading.  
Signal is picking up now at 2230 UTC, but reception not quite as good as over the past weekend. Sun will be setting here so we'll see how things are coming along. So the official name is MAGIC6205? Sounds good to me
0010 UTC Nightime has set in here and I've been listening on and off over the last hour or so to mostly European Pop tunes with occasional ID's. Signal fade rather wide with peaks of S7. At peaks, well above the band noise Switching back and forth between Magic and 6220.8 KHZ (S5-6 peaks), and 6205 has the slight edge.

Same thing here at 0015 UTC. Time pips with short announcement by man...hmmm
Nothing since 0017 UTC
0020 UTC Back again! Still can't make out what the announcement is....
0023 UTC Again....sounds like one of the words is "Shortwave"?
0028 UTC Or maybe the first word is "America's" ??
0030 UTC "America's future on shortwave"?
0033 UTC OFF?
0035 UTC Back again....I thought it was America's vision on shortwave, but too much static...the other posters are likely correct with America's beacon of freedom.
Peskies on LSB at 0045 UTC
Whatever he's saying, I say it's nice to have a pirate Standard Time & Frequency station on 6925....now and then
0049 UTC Still going!

If my Captain Morgan clock could talk, this is what it would be saying

0055 UTC Back again, but so is the pesky(Hey fishsticks, don't mess with the US)
0101 UTC beep beep beep beep...America's Beacon of Freedom...beep beep beep beep (If the details of my report are in accordance with your station logbook, I would be very happy to receive your America's Beacon of Freedom QSL!!! beep beep beep beep)

Now that was different! Time to hit the sack...
Hmmm...0112 UTC beeping again! beep beep beep beep

Have had a carrier since just after 2100 UTC, now I'm getting threshold audio rising up above the noise floor at 2125 UTC. Still too weak to ID songs, though. Sunset is around 2223 UTC here today.
Hmmm...The carrier seems to have disappeared at 2140 UTC check
0001 UTC I guess the Magic op is taking a night off
