1637 UTC Carrier heard here but no detectable audio
1641 UTC Lost the carrier but now have USB and audio.....too low in the noise to ID the song
1645 UTC "Jive Talkin"-Bee Gees (signal is fading in and out here)
Tough copy here....no joy  :(
1705 UTC "Do the Funky Chicken"-Rufus Thomas
1706 UTC "Life By the Drop"-Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
(Signal picked up a bit at 1705 and I was able to fine tune....nice!)
1709 UTC OFF

Thanks for the show RGG!

1701 faint but audible, SIO 111. This is the first of this morning's many reported pirates to be copyable at my QTH. Sounds a bit off frequency.
1704 sounds better at 6949.96 USB. Some finer adjustments to be made. Signal improving here. Thanks for the show!

1708  Very weak.  Unusable.  It's a male singer.  That's all I know.  Nothing on RF or IF waterfalls.  Noise is really good, though!
