I have music here, good S7 or S8 signal, but very heavy interference from the Russian modem (?).

Caught ID at 0241, "Cool AM Radio.."

Weak, barely out of noise with preamp.
S-3 without.

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

Also heard here with fair to good signal.  Details as noted above.  Some PPVR in there around 0249, and also the ute QRM as Chris noted.
