6/3/12, 5:44+ UTC, 6.940am, hearing music but signal is down in the noise and very hard to get a clear copy here. I'm guessing this may be RTN. I believe I heard an ID at 5:45 UTC. At 5:49 hearing a song - I think by the Moody Blues ? Heard a clear ID at 1:54, giving email for requests and thanking listeners for reports.

6940 AM (rx in USB) SIO 232

Weak signal with some fading, but quiet conditions made it possible to hear audio above noise floor.
