Hearing some good blues at 2314 UTC.  Signal is a bit fadey, very good audio.

Much better now that it's on 6950 kHz.  No pesky QRM on LSB.

SDR recording catch. Noted from 2252 sign on with Twilight Zone theme and IDs. A good signal, but quite a bit of QRM from the peskies.   (6925 is sometimes unusable nighttimes due to Pesky QRM)
