0015 "Crazy Train" Ozzy Osbourne
0025 getting modulation in Colorado, but it's just barely above the noise

Great signal for Ball Smacker Radio, showing S9. Thanks for the show.

Great old rock tune after rock tune. Good stuff.

Possibly another station on 6959.5 am in CW. This drives my SAM setting crazy and the program doesn't know which signal to lock on to.
Station is still sounding good with music, but announcements and ID too weak to really understand at  0405 utc.

0132 Rock n' roll - don't know the name of the 2, but both about trains, ID mellow rock mentioning trains, "Midnight train to Georga," ID, etc. with train themed songs.

S7 with a fair bit of QRN from lightning.

Someone on 6959.0 is sending CW and assorted tones.  Notching it out here so I don't know what is being sent.

Fair to good signal on the isthmus amid high noise levels.  0152 ID and 6960 AM frequency call, then into Train's "Drops Of Jupiter" -- good song!  Somebody saying hello via CW (they literally sent hello as part of their message, then zipped it again) and by the looks of other logs, this is some near co-channel interference.  Bleh.  Thanks for the show!

S9 on the peaks while camping along lake Erie near the NY/PA border. I have to take the antenna down as the lighting is close.
