Typical strong signal and great audio. Pro sounding I.D. then into the C.W. McCall classic "Convoy".

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

I have them again tonight, as well. Not as strong as usual but this is earlier then I usually log them. I imagine it will build in strength as the evening progresses.

Just barely hearing them through the noise, with a moderate amount of fade here in Mesa, AZ. Caught a station ID at 0408z followed by Rush.

I'm hearing something on 6924.65 kHz AM right now here in Seattle. ID'ed a minute ago, but I couldn't copy it. Right now they're playing "Radio Gaga".

Icom IC-R75 with a random wire out the window.

Update: They just ID'ed again. It is in fact Radio True North.

0441 Finally got an id after the song Walk like An Egyptian. Call it a steady S-2 with the static washing out the signal about half the time.

10/9/11, 6924.8 AM, since 0430z hearing Radio True North with Boston "More Than a Feeling", Smiths " How Soon is Now", Depeche Mode "I Promise You"
0500z: At top of hour another station came in under RTN.  Can't copy it here at home or via remote tuners, just a pesky het.

Just signed off on 6930 and the first thing I hear is RTN on 6925. Wow that's one wide signal. Granted he is 20 db over s9. Great sounding signal though.Short skip for me here tonight ,only hearing the NW states and BC.

Pretty clear S9 signal here into central Arizona tonight. Quite a bit of fade though. Got a station ID at 0345z, then into some electronic music.
