Noisy in western NY on 6925 but a solid ID at 0138z as Yeah Man Radio, during shout outs to listeners.

At 0148z there was a shout-out to me. Yay, I'm famous now.
At 0157z  Music: "Get Ready"
0200z  now seems gone

I've heard the station previously, but thanks for the broadcast!

Fair signal, but noise, in western New York

0220z   The unmistakable sound of bowling pins! 
0223z   Touch-tone sounds, but maybe part of the song?

Too much noise to identify songs played. But - hey - it's mid-summer!
