Typically strong with terrific audio. Some minor fades but overall it sounds like a pro SW BC station. Always great to hear an old friend!

Good quality, with fades.  Thanks for the music. :)

Playing Relax by Frankie.  Remix, I thinks. :D

ETA: At 0543, he's playing Paranomia by Art of Noise.  With Max Headroom.  I need to get to sleep now... (most funnily.)

Heard here on the 6950/6945/6940 kHz trifecta as well.

Pretty good signal, quite listenable at around 0350z with an S7 signal.

At 0632 he announced he was moving to 6925 kHz, heard there as well, also with a very good signal. Around 0700 the signal level really started to come up. Off at 0803z.

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

Caught RTN from about 0632 to 0803 here at very good level, and it seems to be about an S9.   Great selection of music, and several IDs.

Noticed elsewhere that you played "Sausalito Summer Nights" earlier on a different frequency.  That's got to be about my favorite "This song is so freakin' bad that it's so freakin' good" song of all time.

Thanks RTN!
