Hearing a faint BOR in the high static tonight, IDs at 0224 UTC.  A recheck at 0244 shows the signal level has come up during "Singing in the Rain"

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

Seemed to come on about 0140z with mx, multiple IDs by YL over soothing music, and then into a program of oldies and standards.  Faded somewhat around 0215, but came back like gangbusters around 0300 till the end of the show.  At 0428 there were c/d announcements, ID, and request for reports.  0430 "Closing down".

Seemed to be around S8 when peaking, and thanks for the show BOR!

I believe I heard this BOR station a few hours ago, on 6930 khz, 0239-0250 UTC.

Tuned in to hear some old acoustic blues music, with the signal a fairly steady S5 on my DX-398.  ID as "Blue Ocean Radio" at 0246, voice was a European / English accented woman.  Into Born Under a Bad Sign, and then Beethoven's Fifth at 0250.

Pretty cool selection of music.  I like that old acoustic blues stuff.  Those old, cheap acoustics had a cool sounding dry thump to them.

Yes, I was on for a while last night running AM at 25 watts on 6930. All the other posts in this thread are from the previous night when I was on 6925 usb. I was just playing around last night trying out various audio processing options while listening to myself in another receiver...didn't really expect to be heard. Thanks for the report....BOR

Here's an MP3 of what I caught: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32005683/BOR%202012-09-06%200320z-0431z.mp3
There are a couple of dropouts towards the end from local QRM, but the audio is overall quite good.
