0150 Noting carrier, weak music here in heavy QRN.  Here we go again...
0157 Pretty sure I heard a Metro Radio International ID by OM; sig here is a bit better than it was on  6925
0206 Block of OM/YL talk, and it sounded like DJF and Ms Synth
0209 Back to music
0230 signal has been degrading now for the last 20 minutes, with very little audio during that time.  Gonna pack it in here, MRI;
        thanks for the shows!
0236 nice quick fade up with ID as I was shutting down

S7 on periodic peaks, with fades to inaudibility in storm QRN

SDR catch, I had a weak carrier on 6950.21 starting around 0154z.
Brief peak in signal at 0220z allowed me to hear an OM talking.
