Title: WBNY 6940 AM (relay?)

6940 AM (tried 6300, no luck)
2346z: Some version of "China Girl", not sure if David Bowie or Iggy Pop.  WBNY International Relay Service ID, Belfast addy, into Piratesweek show.
0020z: "Islam's Not For Me" song, via New England remote
0026z: Mouth of Mohammad Radio ID
0045z: Into Hall of Fame Radio fanfare intro - still via NE remote, nothing here at home
SINPO=33222, hearing some occasional ute/data tones, only occasionally audible through static crashes and fades, just enough to copy familiar material.  I can recognize Piratesweek intro song and Ragnar's voice, but only bits and pieces.

Fair via Cleveland, OH, remote tuner, not a peep here at home.  Poor via KY remote - can tell something is there, but no details.  Not a peep via Wisconsin remote.  Fair to good via New England remote.

New England Icom PCR-1500 remote seems vulnerable to occasional overload, tho' not quite as bad as the PCR-1000.  Occasionally hearing what sounds like MW flamethrowers breaking through, but it's not QRM from adjacent signals.
