S9 signal, quite a bit of static, some drifting?

9/10/11, 6955.1 USB, 0110z: Just tuned in a few minutes ago, Captain Ron ID and shout-out to Radio Ronin, playing some Offspring.
0115z: ID, mic level seems a little hot compared with recent shows.
0119z: ID, "Live, Friday night free radio"
0124z: ID, Captain Ron chatting with someone - can't tell if QSO over the air, phone call or someone else nearby on a different mic.  Audio breaking up during live-on-mic segment between songs.
0127z: Rage Against the Machine "Guerilla Radio"

SINPO=43433, some peaks to S9 on the indoor fugly loop, fades to S1, very low QRN, moderate local RFI.

During peaks this is one of the strongest pirate signals I've heard lately.  Off-air recording available later.

0232z: "It's more than a hobby, it's a science and an art" comment with ID.

SINPO=43434, a little stronger and steadier since around 0200z.

Three audio clips recording between 0110z-0230z, around 5-20 minutes each:

Those are temporary links, only good for a few days.

GOOD STRONG signal here in Seattle right now. Easy to copy even with all the urban RF crud. Talking about his signal going everywhere. Station ID "This is the Voice of Captain Ron Shortwave" then into music.

Signal does indeed appear to be drifting a bit.

Lowe HF-150 with a random wire antenna out the window.

Update: here's 10 minutes of audio I grabbed around 0200 UTC:
