Caught a song which is familiar but which I could not ID.  There was a low frequency het which leads me to believe that this was AM.  ID at the end "Adios amigos(?), Red Mercury Labs".

Good level, and thanks RML!

Also heard starting up here, with details as per the early part of Sealord's report, at good level.  We kept losing power here intermittently when crews finally arrived to replace the transformer which blowed up on the pole down the street, so I didn't have a good chance to hear or record the rest of the show.

Thanks RGG!

Hope that's so, and that it's not a spur...

Been noting a weak carrier since about 2253.  Has been building slowly, but no audio yet at 0030.
OM tx / music at 0107
As noted in an overnight recording, this went off at 0336z 0435z. (I double checked my math)

Anyone noting this?

Recorder Catches on 6925.050 USB

Also heard both here.  The AM was dominant, and had a good signal of S6 typical, with some long term peaks to S9, and seemed to be on between 0404 and 1017 UTC.  There was a nasty het of approximately 800 Hz, which leads me to believe that the AM was probably near 6925.8 kHz.  I depressed the audio het in a few places where reception peaked, but the audio was still way off due to my tuning.  I heard clear OM ment "radio" and poss "gmail" near 0930, but that's about it for the entire file.  Really a shame, as this would have probably been good copy if I were tuned differently.

Not as strong as the AM, there was also some OM talk over the AM at 0548 as Sealord noted.  As heard here, this sounded like a QSO in  Spanish.

Also heard here with the puchy signal so typical of the Yoshi.  RML shattering the night silence with an a capella version of "Hello Radio" from some yet nameless sea near the edge of the world or, perhaps, from some exotic port of call such as Papeete or Cleveland.  Who knows?

Thanks RML!
