Came back to the receiver around 06:01z (didn't even know CTR had been on!) to hear Alan Parsons with a nice signal for one song, no ID & then off.

Fair to decent signal with fading - switched on the NRU later to help with the noise level, similar details as others.

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 222

Weak signal, but could hear an Op's voice talking barely above the static - there was also a het from somebody that was on ~6925.7 AM as well.  From looking at my overnight recording the AM station was on from around 04:04z to 10:30z this morning.
