Looks like the 6925 AM daytime pirate is back! Thanks for the show, as always, and the high quality AM signal with loud modulation.
Have a decently strong (S6 or so) carrier on 6925 kHz at 1531 UTC tune-in. Carrier seems to be just a tiny hair below 6925.0 kHz, maybe 6924.9 kHz or 6924.95 kHz (showing 6924.94 on one of the remote SDRs in Virginia, but another shows carrier at 6924.99 kHz
). No drift noted. Bits and pieces of music readable, now..
1532 UTC - The Cars - Just What I Needed
1533 UTC - The Cars still going, some fading
1534 UTC - signal increased slightly but modulation up significantly [fighting local noise / QRN pretty well at this point]
1535 UTC - Everlast - What It's Like (Edited Version)
1538 UTC - checked a third remote receiver/SDR and showing S8 carrier with nice modulation

1915 UTC - tuned back in via remote receiver in NY, nice strong signal and modulation with The Beatles
1916 UTC - The Spinners - I'll Be Around
1919 UTC - deep fade down to S4, then back to previous levels...on peaks this sounds like a local broadcast station

1921 UTC - The Temptations - The Way You Do The Things You Do
1924 UTC - Better Than Ezra - Good
