Ranch Radio ? Mike Radio (?) 6950 AM 0305 UTC 12 JUNE 2025
« on: June 12, 2025, 0309 UTC »
Fair signal in static with song, then a bunch of air raid sirens and car sirens. Now Genesis "Land of Confusion"

To me, the IDs sound like "This is Mike Radio" (or Mic)

National Anthem at 0406

IDs repeated 3X at end sounded to me like "Thank you for tuning in to Reich Radio" (reception was rougher at this point for me)
