Radio True North, 2-3-14, 0037-0232, 6.930 AM, under the static level here at 0037.  Caught announcer with ID at 0119 then into "Double Vision" by Foreigner.  Listening in usb mode as signal is just barely above the static occasionally.  Hearing "She Blinded Me with Science" at 0126.  Announcer with ID at 0136 and into music.  Sounds like "Turning Japanese" at 0146.  Hearing birds chirping and ID at 0153.  At 0157, hearing "Legs."  Heard shout-out to me at 0204 with time check!  Howdy!  Hearing announcer talk at 0221 after music ended.  After that, signal deteriorated further and now getting non-stop babbling qrm from other stations talking.  Hearing sirens at 0232.  

Please QSL.  Thanks.

Mostly weak here, occasionally breaking through the static. Tuned in as they entered the 1944 time machine....

Pulled me away from the game long enough to hear "Brick House" 0100gmt. & "Summer in the City" next. Excellent signal with moderate, shallow fading.
