Just signing on now with the Soviet (or is that Russian?) Anthem.  Very copy here, weak signal, and the audio sounds distorted? Tough to tell.

6924.647 or so. I'm trying to receive in USB.  "Special Time Warp Show"

Has been picking up in the last few minutes; heavy pesc QRM.  Sounds like Old Time Radio.

Pretty good at 2350, but faded to almost nothing at 0000... :(

Indeed, this was relay station. Thanks PRB relays! WE will make special relay identifier for you to use in the future. Damn pescs are like HF cockroaches. They are blasting through with all they got to keep hold on 6925.

Heard RFW very loud on Tecsun 660 portable and whip while on fishing trip about 1 hour SW of Halifax. Amazing signal. Mentholyptus reports doing this all the time on her Tecsun 660, but first time I have heard anything this loud on 6925 or vicinity.

Listened to Fibber McGee and Molly broadcast, final ID and SSTV scan.
