01:03 UTC - Was loud and clear at 3.2 kHz wide but something went hay wire. There is a station on 6920.400 in AM with multiple carriers;
01:10 UTC - Signal returns in USB on 6920.0 kHz but is highly distorted. There is modulation +/- 300 Hz into the LSB. Need to pull back on the lower end frequency and increase the upper end. The excessive base is causing distortion;
01:21 UTC - Station ID: Johnson Radio

RSPduo | End-fed longwire antenna

0056  several "Oh yea"s.  Music, "Hello you out there in radio land", DJ wonders what he should do, "Karn evil 9: 1st Impressions" Emerson, Lake & Palmer, ID over music, into similar music.  Abruptly off at 0106 when a piercing tone came on 6920.6.  Tone ended shortly after s/ off.
