boomed into westchester, ny, on 6925 sub, from 0043 until carrier went off at 0053.  strange because i couldn't pick them up the night before.

0043 "weather report" given, mention of 90 degrees (could've been 9) and "heat wave"  followed by requests for reception reports from anyone "who heard this forecast..." please dial - 918-750-1515 tell them how they were coming in and they'd send "a nice qsl."
into "there was an army of pigs"
0045 "once i was lost... then i was found...
0046 announced phone # again (w/out area code?) "please dial... 750-1515"
0047 oinks
0049 started sign off w/"this is radio wpig signing off"
into "5 little piggies jumping on the bed, one fell off..."
0052 sign off continued w/what sounded like techno lullaby -
0053 - off

do they have an email?  (918)# gets what seems to be a pager?

please eQSL:  fgc180@aol.com

thanks for the broadcast!

Special broadcast on 71st anniversary of D-day!

Voice of Pearl Harbor received here in Westchester county, New York - fair to good signal, but increasing noise (probably weather related) - especially around 0010 UTC.

tuned in to 6950 kHz, usb at 2358 utc (7:58 pm here on east coast) june 6, 2015.

2358 - speech by w. Churchill in progress
2359 - music (country western sound) "power of dictators shall be taken away...  that'll be the end of the axis... when our army and navy overtake the enemy..."
0000 - (now 7 June 2015) id - you are listening to "voice of pearl harbor..."  email address for special qsl.
0001 - speech by franklin Roosevelt "join me in prayer.... with god's blessing we shall prevail...."
0007 - newsreel reports of invasion (including unconfirmed german reports.. via associated press).
0010 - noise and interference makes audio unintelligible (sounds, tones, music?)
0013 - more coverage of invasion "landing allied armies... the allied expeditionary force...."

Please eQSL: fgc180@aol.com

Many thanks for remembering the anniversary!  And many thanks for the broadcast!
