Weak, but peaking up to S5 with old-time or big band style music, continuous, without an ID yet.  Tough copy with the high static levels tonight.

Off at 0357 UTC - never did catch an ID

First noted around 0237 UTC, Red Mercury Lab IDs with a lot of Soundgarden / Chris Cornell music.  Nice sounding signal tonight over the heavy static.  Thanks RML!

I had the SDR recording during this time frame and caught it all on 6930L & 6935L:

2311 UTC: "I'm going to try the FRN.  Test One Two Three, oh God damnit!  The radio just conked out."

2313 UTC: "Test one two three.  Can you hear me?  Any TVI?" followed by what sounded like a roger beep.  A YL responds "No", same roger beep follows here transmission.  OM: "Ok, nothing on sideband, nothing on sideband, okay try channel 10".  OM then does a test count after getting terse with his YL "You cut yourself off again!", YL responds "Okay, go ahead, do it!"  The fun repeats as OM does more test counts, YL is apparently checking television channels for interference, the two are probably communicating via a two way radio - GMRS handhelds maybe.

2315 UTC:  This has now moved up to 6935 with more test counts "Test test test one two.  Checking for f***ing TVI, f***ing TVI!  Anything?"

Unless Ragnar heard something different, this wasn't military - just a pirate and a patient YL sorting out a TVI issue.

Renegade Radio calling Doctor Benway right now, but Benway isn't hearing R.R.  Benway discussing unfilled requests from the other night, maybe testing right now.

Very faint with Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll", mostly at the threshold and occasionally peaking to recognizable songs.

Captain Ron with "Radio Therapy" hoping everyone is having a great Saturday night and into music.  Audio sounding a bit thin and signal somewhat down in the noise, but the signal is making it thru.  Lots of activity tonight - thanks Captain!

0232 UTC: Signal coming up nicely now, S5-S6

Weak but in there with oldies and announcements / IDs at 0100 UTC, music sounds slightly off frequency and I'm still trying to dial it in...

Sounding very good while tuning up on 6920u, touting "first new show in four years".  Looking forward to the show tonight!

0356 UTC:  Getting some interference from nearby 6925am, sounds like Captain Morgan up 5 khz

Slightly better here vs. earlier on 6925 khz, but still very low and mostly in the noise.
