Now that Okeechobee is off 6875, they were S9 +40 here tonight, I can get a good listen to 6885
4:10 ut  Hearing music now.
I do not speak Hebrew but I tuned into their internet stream and sure enough it is the same music!
4:21 ut Male announcer speaking but at S5  it is very close to my current S4 noise floor.

Not bad for a 5 kw AM sig that is not by design directed our way!

I would recommend Raven Maps. www.ravenmaps.com
Not because I have any interest in them other than I own 3 laminated wall maps they publish.  
- absolutely gorgeous - I suppose if you happen appreciate maps like I do anyway - nice website as well-

Here is a pic of the Montana map hanging on the wall in front of me now, 41"x65"  1"= 9.5 miles topographical w/ all primary roads
and every town in Montana.
