Sycko was heard here in the Boston burbs on my personal KiwiSDR with an 80m dipole. Not strong however, peaks to S3-S4 but some fades into the noise as well.

Stepped away to put a kid to bed, came back and Foxy is back on 6925 at 2310 UTC with Steely Dan. Good signal, S9 on my personal KiwiSDR. Music audio might be a little lower than announcer's audio. Overall very pleasant audio and signal though.

General Radio Discussion / Radio Six Pops Up Again on Shortwave
« on: July 22, 2020, 1618 UTC »
Radio Six International has not been a full-time shortwave broadcaster for some time. But after two recent live broadcasts on 6070 kHz prompted by the pandemic, it says it will continue monthly broadcasts at least for now.

General Radio Discussion / Watch The Resurgence Of Amateur Radio – A Silver Lining Of COVID-19
« on: July 20, 2020, 2108 UTC »
From one of the internet's preeminent nautical shipping sites (who would have thought?)...
During times of peace and prosperity, the death of traditional radio isn’t a problem on anyone’s radar but, COVID-19 has reminded us that we need to be prepared for the unexpected, especially considering the fact that modern systems like satellite radio are vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. The good news is that HAM radio has seen a resurgence during the past few months. Around the world, thousands of new amateur radio operators have used their time in quarantine to study for a radio license and many standby on HF stations like 14.300 MhZ to provide free information and services to ships.

The audio clip is from Clyde Lewis' "Groundzero" program which is an Art Bell knock-off kind of thing featured on AM stations late at night.
