Solid S7 here at 2249 UTC on 6850.2 AM with BBC commentary. Great audio!
2315 UTC Noticed the other posters comments about the clipped audio. I've been listening in USB (I usually do with AM signals), and the audio is much better with USB and a tweak of the Passband tuning knob and the appropriate graphic equalizer settings on the stereo. When I switch to AM, the audio sounds slightly muffled. There...you have an official Skipmuck  subjective analysis of the broadcast audio. Of course...I've lost about a third of my hearing from working in manufacturing all my adult life!
Still solid S7 here and quite intelligible! :)

Peaks to S9+20, so a very strong signal here. Audio seems kind of overmodulated and somewhat clipped, like some ALC action, but is loud. Conversation about taxi drivers and Uber.

Solid S7 signal here.

I think Pirate BBC Radio should consider a test broadcast to North Korea given Kim Jong-Un's fondness for Radio 1.

Thanks for the show!
