Tuned in to end of a song, and Mr. Abu mentioning something about Florida, and a shoutout to "Smolski"
2344 UTC Signal is above the band noise, but T-Storm static is making for tough copy.

Caught the tail end here with CW at 1245 UTC, into "Star Spangled Banner", and the final sustained tone, then OFF at 1247 UTC. Signal was solid S6 here. Is there something wrong with the calibration of my NRD-515? I had you on 6925.1 KHZ here
