Saw some poss tune-up activity around 0050.  Show start around 0103.
Rain-snow mix irritating local power line noise, but in around S5 here.

Tuned off for a couple to check something else; on 0123 recheck seems off?
0130 Now being heard with similar reception on 6970. :)
0137 LZ - "When the Levee Breaks"  --  a bit of fade but good on peaks
0145 ID, addy  --  now hitting S8 peaks
0154 T Heads - "Burning Down the House"
0210 ID, Peter Gabriel - "Big Time"  --  mainly near the noise now, but still a few good occasional peaks - frequent OTHR

Thanks RTN!

Recorder catch:

6925 AM (rx in USB) SIO 232-332

Fair to decent signal overall - similar details as others.  Caught a portion of the broadcast before my receiver started acting up.

01:06z-01:27z Radio True North

Audio: http://archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadio/RadioTrueNorth6925Am-usb0106z-0127z01-06-13.mp3

Thanks RTN! :)
