Music---decent signal, but lots of QRM 3-4 Khz up. S6 into GA

Tuned back in at 0029, seems to be up around 6942 now.S5-S6. Maybe a talk break?

6943.6 at 0041. I keep thinking I hear talk breaks, but can never hear it good enough. Fisherman QRM is bad at times.

6944.6 0050. Signal is much improved now into GA

6945+ 0056
off at 0057ish

BIG signal into northern Canada, S-9+ on peaks. Heard Ramones "I wanna be sedated", then into another Ramones song, cut off audio after several seconds. OM talking about energy, then back into Ramones. Great to hear you! Killer signal. Please e-QSL if possible.

0046 Dance track
0052 PF - Mother

Not a bad S8 signal, pesc in the LSB, and the upward drift makes it hard to listen in USB.

Thanks for the show WTF...!

0036 I heard it here in California, the sun was still up.    Its signal could have been better. I liked the song at 0036, but I had to leave. I wonder what band it was.  What does WTFYWTCM stand for?
