oops.  I meant 6920LSB.  updated topic heading.

S7 here, my first time hearing them.  Pretty good audio.  Played "Hold on Tight" by ELO. Several clear ID's (and a few unclear ones).
OM said they were in western US.  Mentioned HFU.
Mention of too many pescs on 6925khz
Live time-check @ 0205
Playing some Peter Tosh reggae @  0207z
Days of the Week by STP @ 0212z
Shoutout to me @ 0213z  ---   Thanks!
Said he was running low power.
Mention of XFM's great AM signal.
Into "Friday on My Mind" by The Easybeats @ 0215z
"The Shape I'm In" by The Band
"I Know You're Out There" by Moody Blues  getting some ute qrm (or some distortion) during this song.
Was apparently distortion.

Much better audio @ 0238 with "Love Caught Up to Me" by Dwight Yoakam
Heavy distortion is back during the Rascal's tune @ 0240z.  Suddenly cleared up @ 0242z
Still S6 and during final Outlaws song and 'goodnight folks'.  Off @ 0335z
Someone else came on and said 'thanks for the show'.

Thanks for the show!  nice tune selection too.

Good signal strength here, but there's some distortion on the signal, like a component of the audio is kind of growling along  with the part that sounds cleaner. Roy Orbison version of "Pretty Woman"

SDR recording catch. 0155 sign on, S8 signal.  Thanks for the show!

[Beerus Maximus]

Also an SDR recording catch here. Same details as noted by others. Signal peaking to S7 here in the Boston burbs. Announcer seems to alternate between IDing as Drifty and Drifting Crystal.
