He's about S9 here in Georgia.  There's also a bit of static from thunderstorms way north of us.

WMPR, 6955.2 AM - listening in LSB, 0144, 7.22.17.  Contemporary Dance music, 0149 "WMPR Dance Party" into more contemporary dance music, 0152 ID into similar music.

S6 ... S9 when switched to AM once XLR8 went off.

Listening in LSB to avoid XLR8 on USB initially.

SDR recording catch. Heard from 0141 sign on, with an ID as "WMPR Dance Party". I had to use SAM-LSB to filter out XLR8 on 6955 USB, even then it was an SIO 433.
At 0151 the signal took a dive, and was pretty much gone.
