Assuming the same thing, I can hear that myself. Sounds more like a recording of a comedy show than anything else

Lots of fading, so all over the map signal-wise, but peaking at S9. Old comedy skit?

Checked when I got home at 3:45z fair signal better in USB. Music,I can't make out the song though. occasionally creeps up to S4.
I'm really sorry I missed the Fibber mcgee& Molly part. I am a Fibber Mcgee connoisseur I listen to several episodes a day at otrrlibrary.org. One of the absolute best shows ever on radio.

Getting a mostly S8-S9 signal with static crashes here. 

Like last night, somebody is in RFW's upper sideband.  Unlike last night, the other signal isn't standing still, but wandering back and forth.  Is it a ute?

Best signal so far from RFW - can almost hear him at peaks.

S6 - S7 signal  S6 - S8 static - storm crashes


4:40 z Signal up a bit sounds like maybe an ID?  S9 peaks now

Oops some one just fired up almost on top of ya - 6924.6 AM

Sorry for late posting, but had to get ready for work as RFW was starting up.

Shortly after 0200 UTC, after some gab, was announced they were gonna play a vintage Fibber Magee & Molly radio program from 1931 or 41. Audio & signal very good, really easy copy, a pleasure to listen, but had to turn radio off @ 0225  :^(

=== Thanks for the k00l tunes Dickweed, & the July 4th e-QSL!! ===

Recorder Catch on 6925AM

Only was able to hear the very end of the show last night, 0436-0452* UTC.  Very nice signal here, with banter about QSLing, aging, and getting nude pictures of DXers girlfriends.

Thanks RFW!

SDR recording catch. 0204z sign on with an S9 signal, some peaks to S9+10.
Played some old time radio shows.
