Very strong well-modulated signal at my location.  Reminded me of an extended (theremin) soundtrack from "Forbidden Planet."  I assumed it was US government because utility activity heard before on this frequency.  Rather odd situation/activity.

Very nice!  Since this was an old show, do you think this was a relay or the actual station coming back?

Voice of the Abnormal  6925 AM  0028-0105*  2014.08.11
Hearing station now @ 0028 playing song "I'm a Wanker."  Fair signal/audio amid static here in Nebraska.
Later details:
Series of songs about food/nonfoods including Monty Python's SPAM restaurant skit. Song "Teenage Romance" by Tony Small(?), and helpful hints from Mr. Fix-It.
At 0100 station ID and being about time to go into another song into s/off @ 0105.
Thanks for the show.

Picked up ~0005 amid heavy static.  Can barely hear any details but station is definitely there.  Hope conditions improve at my location.
At 0135 could hear a program between a man and woman followed by a musical interlude then back to the show.  Still unable to make out any details, though.  Very frustrating.

OLd Time Radio  6770 AM  0352-0410+  2014.08..10
Hearing radio program but hard to discern.  Ad for Colgate Dental Cream.  ID for radio  program aired @ 0355 but unable to copy.
Heavy static levels make copy difficult.  Assuming some type of variety show.
Lost signal in noise ~0410.  
Tried again around 0428 and picked up a male singer into some big band music.  Possible program ID into another radio program.  Just too much noise for me to get anything definite with this faint signal.

I have been hearing this tone today (Aug 10) since 0022.  Don't know if it ever went off the air this evening.  It is just a steady continuous tone.

DJ Dickweed and anther man talking about some topic I could not quite understand.  Mention of music of 1965 into Rolling Stones "Get Off of My Cloud."
Voices/music hard to cleanly copy here at my location (Eastern Nberaska).  Somewhat muddy on the low end and getting lost in the noise floor
Signal much improved as program continued.  Now hearing "hang On, Sloopy" ~0320 with good signal/audio.

Having a very difficult time pulling this one out of the static mud here. Can make out bits of music and sometimes sounds like multiple stations piling on each other.  Got slightly better, but still very poor copy, when tuned a little off-frequency.

MAC SHORTWAVE / 6950 AM / 0120-0200+ / 2014.08.05
Signal deep in noise floor w/high static levels here in eastern Nebraska.  Copy difficult and details hard to discern. (Using a Tecsun PL660 w/ 1 kHz resolution.)
Some improvement in signal around local sunset (0138).
Able to hear some big band music. 
During one break between music comments made by op about frequency adjustment for better reception?

AM signal playing electronic music.  Very noisy conditions.  No ID heard yet.

Caught last few minutes of 1964 Time warp program.  Songs "Don't Tell Me What to Say, "Baby Love," and "My Guy."  S/off @ 0220 with contact info. (Didn't catch full e-mail address.) Good signal despite noise and some fading.
