Pounding into Masset, after Boat Anchor Radio signed off at 05:00.
Measuring 6959.607 in beautiful AM playing Timekiller by Project Pitchfork
"Transmitter is smoking.  Smoking will kill you", and presumably the same in German. 05:24  A bit distorted.  They also gave email address earlier (computer generated) but very distorted, so difficult to follow.
Double Life by Die Form at 05:25   Very strong signal into Masset!
Radioactivity by Kraftwerk to 05:52, then ID for Stern Radio with email address...easier to follow   sternradiok666@outlook.com
Then, an anthem, which Shazam IDs as:  Nsk by Laibach   (the words are Churchill's, no?)   Thanks for the interesting broadcast! 
Carrier cut just before 05:57 with a zip!

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

517- Just a carrier here, and weak traces of what sounds like electronica or techno music.
All reception direct-- From my location, radio and antenna.
QTH New Hampshire (70 miles north of Boston).
Tecsun S-8800 and Kenwood R-2000, with about 135 feet of wire thrown up in the trees.
