Barely hear audio, poor sig, possible old radio programs with ads from that era, have to tune in with usb due to utility qrm on lower side, R2000 & dipole.

6.770 AM, s9+20, sounds like a mid 60's TV show Abbot and costello, Good audio!  
Prince albert commercial, easy to pack, easy to keep lit, and easy to draw!
Mel Blanc show!

Unable to copy on AM or either sideband due to UTE QRM on either side [too close to passband]
Carrier is still visible...
Perhaps at night, they need to go back down to 3395 if QRM keeps up...
I was able to listen to CBS announcements earlier today, old commercials like Tooth POWDER & Gunsmoke..!

I heard them about an hour ago running old commercials and music. If it wasn't for lightning strikes to my west, this would have been the best I've ever heard them.

I decided to save my hearing for quieter times.

Poor signal here, just bits getting through the high noise level.

Old Time Radio, 6770 AM, 0146, 9/9/14.  Big band music into story.

Hard to understand, so I can't tell what the story is about.

However, this is much better than the usual, tiny carrier I see with no audio.
