Dead air / unmodulated carrier, then music.  S5 signal with some rapid fades...I think there may be two stations that have been alternating on and off 6925 this morning/early afternoon, the station that signed on at 1555 UTC or so has a 5-6 kHz wide modulation and is peaking at S5-S6, whereas the other station was pushing out a 10-12 kHz wide signal and was S9+10db

1558 UTC - Converton - Let's Do It
1600 UTC - Prince - Let's Work
1605 UTC - Flipside - Havin' a Party
1606 UTC - deep fade down to the noise, then back up to S5/S6, good signal
1607 UTC - a couple false starts, then another rock song by Devo
1609 UTC - another very rapid fade, back up to previous levels and then some
1610 UTC - SIO 444 now, either power went up a bit or conditions are improving
1612 UTC - John Williams - Star Wars Main Theme
1613 UTC - The Tramps - Disco Inferno (signal strength is all over the place!)
1615 UTC - another rapid change in signal strength
1618 UTC - off the air suddenly
