Decent signal here in heavy static crashes with bits of different music genres, announcements, etc. On & off the air a lot. A couple different announcements in Spanish. I'm thinking this is a pescadore broadcast

Thanks for the tip!

Thunderstorm crashes are making this difficult, but the signal is good for this time of day. I'm hoping to find my headphone adapter so that I can dig out some details from the noise
Thanks for the show!

Not sure how it's been for Chris, but the propagation's been really bad for me. I've left the radio on 27700 kHz USB at least a dozen different days, but I haven't gotten any legible images in a few months

Nice signal with big band music, including "Thanks for the Memories" & "Let's Go Slumming." I've heard four songs so far & no IDs at the breaks.
ID of Germany Calling, taken from the WWII-era broadcasts from the DJx stations. Not sure if this is the pirate Germany Calling or if someone else is reusing those IDs. In the past, the Germany Calling pirate had only used 6940 kHz and AM, not this freq or mode.

Thanks for the show!

I've tuned in a number of different days and have never heard anything resembling an ID

0340 UTC: Colgate toothpaste ad & A Day in the Life Of Dennis Day show. Really nice signal again, like it was a couple of weeks ago

Nice catch, DaveJV! Old time radio comedy broadcast, with audience laughter & musical breaks between segments. My guess is that it's the OTR Unid, moved here from 6770. But, of course, someone could also test with OTR shows to make DXers believe that it's the OTR unid

I heard what seems to be the same station last night around 0415, but the audio was really weak here. Decent carrier. Not sure if the audio was just weak or if the signal was coming from a long distance (much like how many Europirates sound at my QTH).

A Day in the Life of Dennis Day, with an ad for Lustre-Creme shampoo, then Dennis Day singing "Danny Boy." Nice to hear back on

Good signal this morning at 1055, playing a Muzak (or Muzak-like) instrumental cover of "The Rose." Heard at 1600 yesterday with a fair/good signal as well.

I have a fairly weak carrier on about 6974.2 or thereabouts. Is this you?

Sounded really good tonight when I tuned in around 2340. Last night around 0400, the op went from an OTR war mystery show into old EZL music

Finally made it back to the radio. Tuned in around 0345 & heard a Colgate toothpaste ad, then I think it went into Dennis the Menace, but I need to check the recording. Signal was S9, but static crashes were hitting S9 or a bit higher. Woke up during a thunderstorm at 0840 & could hear a weak carrier close to 6881, so I'm guessing that it might be the same station. Thanks to whoever is making these long broadcasts!
