Came on 6925 LSB just before 2212z, then quickly switched to USB. Heard with test counts and whistling. 
"Let's go back to the other one, and we'll just try the frequency you can hear us on", then off at 2214. A pretty strong signal.

I don't believe this was a pirate.

About an S6/S7 at 2114z.

I checked the recording, and yes, it did sound like numbers starting just before 0025z. Extremely weak here.

A bill with bipartisan support has been introduced in the US House of Representatives that calls on the FCC to apply the “reasonable accommodation” three-part test of the PRB-1 federal pre-emption policy to private land-use restrictions. HR.4969, the “Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014” was introduced on June 25 at the request of the ARRL, which worked with House staffers to draft the proposed legislation. The bill’s sponsor is Rep Adam Kinzinger (R-IL). It has initial co-sponsorship from Rep Joe Courtney (D-CT). If the measure passes the 113th Congress, it would require the FCC, within 120 days of the Bill’s passage, to amend the Part 97 Amateur Service rules to apply PRB-1 coverage to include homeowners’ association regulations and deed restrictions, often referred to as “covenants, conditions, and restrictions” (CC&Rs). Presently, PRB-1 only applies to state and local zoning laws and ordinances.

...

HR.4969 has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rep Greg Walden, W7EQI (R-OR), chairs that panel’s Communications and Technology Subcommittee, which will consider the measure.

ARRL Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, is a principal advocate for the current legislative initiative to gain PRB-1 recognition for CC&Rs. Lisenco said the most urgent task now is to get additional co-sponsors to sign onto HR.4969.

I checked the SDR recording, and had some weak CW here as well. A lot of it sounded like the op just tapping the key for dits, vs actual CW?

About an S7 signal at 1203z. Some static.

23906
Came on with Fred Munster calling CQ, then into synthesized XYL yelling at her synthesized OM about buying more ham radio gear.
Hilarious!  S9 signal.

23907
OM talking about electronic music synthesizers. Very interesting... a topic of interest to me: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/ipad/complex_sound_synthesizer.html

Fairly weak, SIO 322 and a lot of t-storm static. I wish reception was better, this is a cool program.

2258 sign on as per the SDR recording.
2320 XLR8 ID
2324 Off

Very cool show, XLR8. Maybe you'll get the chance to replay it, when conditions are better... :-)

23908
SDR recording catch. 0518 sign on with an SIO 333 signal. Off at 0532. No ID heard.

23909
I have them at 1322z on 6770, about an S7. Nice to hear the old time radio programs in the daytime, instead of the music.

23910
SDR recording catch. First noted at 0333z, with a weak signal. Somewhat better by 0400z.
