Tuned in at 0035utc, very weak signal, barely hear music, in ssb mode carrier frequency seems to be frequency modulated by some kind of data.

Dimbulb Radio, 6925.2 AM (sort of), 0021, 4/28/18.  Music, "Dimbulb Radio," into more music.  Just above the static floor.  Then a couple of blasts of OTHR, and after the station was right at the static floor and couldn't tell what was on except music.

S5 deteriorating to S4.
