JB mentioning the passing of Bozo (Jay) at 2129 UTC. Jay interview at SWLfest with JB. Glad to hear JB give old Bozo some props... Jay's passing went too unnoticed.

S2 here. Unfortunately not too strong. I can hear the op giving shout-outs though. Clear RM ID at 0225 UTC. Definitely a live show.

Also seeing and hearing bits of this at 0110 UTC. It's definitely weak for me, and it seems there are breaks in the carrier. My initial thought was something arcing over sporadically, perhaps in an transmitter or antenna somewhere, causing a mixing product/spur/whatever. Or some other type of failure in a broadcast system.

I have a solid S9+ carrier on 6925 KHz AM with very low audio. I can clearly hear music but can't dig it out. Peskie QRM doesn't help. At 0012 UTC audio up a tiny bit but not enough, Goo Goo Dolls "Long Way Down" then off abruptly.

Huge S9+20 signal at 0051 UTC with Beatles "All You Need Is Love" . Mega wide audio! KBOX ID at 0059 followed by more commentary by Boxxy, then into more Beatles. Band started to change dramatically around 0105 UTC and signal slid way down to S5-ish.
