R Casablanca  0115 IS (sounded like old VOA IS), 0116 FR national anthem, EG ID at 0118 and then some talk by OM drowned out by static.  Old Andrew's Sisters song at 0019.

Fair but weak signal cutting through the static,
Heard Blue Skies into more music I can't easily copy because of noise levels.

Carrier there but no audio.  :'(
0036 audio starting to come up but it's a rough copy.
0044 getting enough audio to ID "Memories of You" Benny Goodman and hear Radio Casablanca ID with email.
0045 faded again
0150 still listening, starting to get at/above the noise floor as it nears dark.

Radio Casablanca, 6940 AM, 0025, 6.1.18.  "Blue skies," "My heart belongs to Tangerine," similar era music including "Stormy weather," 0044 ID.

Initially S8, then abruptly dropped to S7 and much weaker at 0030.

i'm hearing this on my 11m mobile with a transverter using a simple wire groundplane antenna hanging from a tree limb roughly 8ft off ground at the bottom . that puts the tip at roughly 16ft. all held in place by paracord and rocks. ;-)

Faint music heard but not really clear. Okay, he's up on 6940.2 AM. Weak signal that fades out often. Still sounds like it's drifty.

Hearing music at 01:15UTC there is interference on this frequency probably due to thunderstorm in the area signal level is 7

Nice signal in loads of QRN. Nice to see that the Allies are still holding on to Casablanca!
