Sounds like some nice Bluegrass I'm hearing right now at 2355 UTC.  Carrier may have moved down slightly, as I've got them on 6850.2 kHz.  S9 in NY.

Tuned in at 0011utc, poor/weak under much static, hear rock music, R2000 & dipole. (edit) Earlier the DJ's voice had an echo and at 0033 there was a large bell tolling like in a creepy movie, now playing US natl anthem sung by a woman (too bad it's not Roseann Barr).

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Very faint in Nebraska.  Can barely hear a few music snippets and voice.
Maybe better luck as local sunset approaches.
S/off ~ 0038 after US national anthem as performed by Lady GaGa.
