Presume this to be Radio Harmony.  Rock music with occasional brief announcements.  Hearing them direct in New York using an Airspy HF+ Discovery and 78' loop on ground antenna.  Clear enough signal for me to copy the songs by ear.

0243 "From The Beginnning" - ELP
0247 "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" - Melanie
0255 Possible ID, sounded computer generated.  Then, "Life Is A Minestrone" - 10cc
0259 "Money" - Pink Floyd
0303 "Carpet of the Sun" - Renaissance (amazing to hear this, the last time I heard this on the radio was over 40 years ago!)
0307 "Shuffle It All" - Izzy Stradin and the Ju Ju Hounds (according to Shazam)

(edit by moderator Ray: ID from Radio Harmony to Zenith Classic Rock)

Tuned in while "Hand Jive" was in progress, sounds like George Thorogood.  S6 in NY but the modulation is very weak unfortunately.  Song by Van Morrison at 2231 UTC.  Signal starting to fade out at 2236 UTC.

I have a carrier on 6925.25 kHz.  S5 at 1513 UTC in NY.  Sending SSTV at 1516 UTC.  Carrier has drifted down a bit.  One image looked like a Buddha statue, another was a planet.  Carrier has drifted down to 6925.1 at 1523.  Music now at 1524, right after an image of a mountain at sunrise.  B&W image of microphone, bones and lightning bolts at 1540 UTC.  Seems to have gone off now.

Although this is a new licensed station, I am posting it here for now as it is more in the spirit of free radio than an international broadcaster.  Tuned in at 2100 to hear their test transmission announcement, talk by an English accented DJ, followed by music, and frequent test transmission announcements.  Coming in about an S7 in the clear in NY on my 48 meter half-wave dipole.

Progressive music program has been on since I tuned in; "The Baptism" by Exploring Birdsong at 2128 UTC.  Carrier went off at 2158 UTC.

Right after 6949.3 went off, I think this came on.  Played "Kitty", then went off.  Nice strong signal and audio in NY.

Tuned around a bit after listening to 6880 for almost 3 hours, found this at 1953 UTC playing some Roy Orbison ("Fastest Guitar Alive"), and now as I'm typing this, "Ooby Dooby".  S7 in NY, nice clear audio.
