North American Shortwave Pirate / Random Radio and Friday Night Radio? 6925U 30's/40's music

« on: September 11, 2010, 0500 UTC »

Since about 0430z, I've been hearing what seems to be two stations alternating  music from the 30's and 40's.  One is mixed with the noise, the other about S9.

0448z "Open the Door, Richie" (This is the stronger of the two here)

0513  The op of the stronger station just ID'd as Random Radio.  Asked the other for an ID, then signed off.  I can barely hear the other station playing music but never caught an ID.

0519  Random says "Goodnight Friday Night Radio, I really enjoyed it!"

Thanks for an interesting listen!
