SDR recording catch. Carrier came up at 0333z, very weak. Some music heard around 0350z. Carrier drifted down to about 6924.5 kHz.
Heard an OM talking around 0512z. Then into more music.
0602 Possible "This is Radio True North" ID
0641 Hearing some music now, the signal has picked up a bit, but still quite weak.
0851 RTN ID, email address, and off

Thanks for the show!

That must of been what I heard on my overnight recording running for a number of hours, at least till around 08:10z.  It was slightly off pitch for me being parked on 6925, but could tell it was AM & had the best copy around 07:00z-07:10z, but signal was too weak for any details.

Nice score on the ID Chris!

I had the same results as Sealord. It was on my overnight recording....until the dog unplugged the computer at 5:33z. Gotta get a UPS. I was never able to get any audio from it on my bedside R 75 that I kept checking (under the assumption that the recorder was still running).
