 Hearing a speech by Franklin Roosevelt at 22:14UTC decent signal here. I assume it has to do with the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor! Signal is fair to good here! are there two signals on the same frequency? Music is on 6925LSB and the speech was on Am mode! The signal has improve as it is on 6928khz here and listening to music of this era.
