Tuned in at 0113, hear music poking up above moderate noise floor at times, now playing old 70's tune "don't you look at my girlfriend" or whatever that song is called, R2000 & dipole.

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

Alternating between AM and USB.  Not hearing any audio here in AM, some audio in USB.
The ute during the ID was perfectly timed to obliterate the ID :-(

Still there at 0200 but no better.

I'm getting an S3 carrier at 0215 UTC here on 6962 but no discernable audio
0224 UTC Getting some threshold audio now but too low in the noise to ID the song
0235 UTC Checked back here and I'm getting nothing now....

Caught a brief ID at 0226 on SDR recording. Sounded like Realtos Radio, or course the signal was so weak it could be some variation of that.

SDR recording catch 0104 sign on with Piano Man. Maybe an SIO 222 overall.
Switched to USB at 0110, then back and forth between AM and USB a few times. Also LSB at least once.
CCW "Bad Moon On The Rise" during a peak around 0207.
Undecipherable ID and off just before 0235.
Here is a recording of the ID just before sign off: http://www.radiohobbyist.org/blog/mypics/6961-0235.mp3

Chris...I listened to your recording in Audacity while removing some noise and altering the speed and frequency response and if I was going to make a guess, I'd say it sounds something like "You are tuned...Radio Prime Time"
