+AD4 The Drake R-8a that I inherited has a zillion presets. One group was programmed for 5000, 10000, 15000, 3330, 7335, 14670, and 11092.5USB(+ACE). The first three were probably for WWVH, and I just never got around to changing the others.

+AD4 So, when I went to check my atomic clock, I happened to scroll past the other frequencies, and I heard a very weak signal on 11092.5USB at about 0100 GMT. I thought I could hear a male voice say +IBw-Tony Lee+IB0 followed by music that sounded like part of +IBw-My Country +IBg-Tis of Thee+IB0.

+AD4 What was it?

That was the frequency for the old Radio St Helena, a one day transmission that DXers wanted to catch. They closed down years ago. Maybe a April Fool's Day pirate?
