Fair signal here at 0042 tune in on about 6872.6 KHZ with instrumental music and ID and talk at 0043. Lots of atmospheric noise tonight!
After 40's tune lady singer, ID at 0050 into 40's big band/swing tune. Good signal, but noisy here.

S8 carrier, not a lot of audio in hi atmospheric noise.  Very hard to understand OM talk at 0057.

Good S9+ signal but surprisingly high atmospheric noise tonight. Almost sounds like a summer evening. Lots of storms off the coast.
