OM talking about Peter Tosh at 2025 UTC.  Reference to 25th Anniversary Show.  6850.5 kHz frequency, checked out a couple other East Coast SDRs, showing a nice strong signal on 6850.485 kHz (6850.5 kHz AM).  Back to George Strait at 2026 UTC.

Really nice sounding AM signal with very little static or noise at 2027 UTC.

Locally a S6 signal, but due to heavy local QRN, I'm listening on a Virginia based remote SDR.  Some minor fading at 2032-2034 UTC, but still a great signal as usual from Pirate Radio Boston!
