Heard the song You Can Call Me being played and at 1125 a fast talking male announcer started talking. The audio was somewhat distorted and with the static cloud only make out a reference to central "park" and back to "?? radio show" don't believe that a station id was even attempted. 35343. carrier off at 1129

It was Boombox doing some  a "dawn enhancement" propagational test...
There's a pirate DXer in Guatemala so we were trying greyline to  him, but too much noise today in Guatemala so he didn't hear us. Thanks to all for their loggings  QSLs to boomboxshortwave@gmail.com   DJ LT

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

1057 s/on with ID, addy, and request for listeners to include their street address for a physical QSL.  Several musical tracks.

Fair signal at s/on, declined steadily throughout the show.  Faded out here at 1126 before apparent s/off.

Thanks BBR!

I was just reviewing my overnight recording and also caught this. Radio was on 6925u and must've been slightly off frequency as the recording has a strong het, so it appears that the signal strength was good.

Computerized female voice at sign-on, then clear BoomBox Radio ID by computerized male voice asking for reports to be emailed for a QSL.

SDR recording catch. Noted here from sign on with a barely evident carrier and audio, then at 1118z it suddenly jumped to S9+ mid song. You certainly got your early morning propagation enhancement, at least to my QTH! :-)
