6950 is a mess here with 2 stations, one on AM, one on USB.  One of them is Captain Morgan Shortwave (not sure which).
0340 - USB station in the clear now with Rush tune, "Cinderella Man", S7

0333 Both stations are strong here. The USB station was playing Rush.
0335 Sounds like Captain Morgan was the AM station and just pulled the plug. The USB station is playing Rush "Closer to the Heart"
