I heard this while walking the dog on a surprisingly warm night here in KCMO. I never was able to copy an ID as the signal sometimes faded out almost completely. Several Elton John songs heard with "bits" interspersed. I'm not sure if they were comedy or just weird news bits. The signal was way up for a while around 3:15z. I tuned in from about 3:02 - 3:20z. I was using my tecsun PL660 with just the built in whip antenna.    Thanks for the show.

SDR recording catch. Generally inaudible except during the 0335 to 0340 period, when the signal came up. Still heavy QRM from the pescadores.

Tried for this one this one on my overnight recording. Totally overpowered by non-stop S9 peskie talk on 6925L the entire time, only able to catch a few hints of audio when they shut up for a millisecond. Peskies have taken over 6925, ops may want to start looking for a new pirate band....
