Heard the song You Can Call Me being played and at 1125 a fast talking male announcer started talking. The audio was somewhat distorted and with the static cloud only make out a reference to central "park" and back to "?? radio show" don't believe that a station id was even attempted. 35343. carrier off at 1129

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

1057 s/on with ID, addy, and request for listeners to include their street address for a physical QSL.  Several musical tracks.

Fair signal at s/on, declined steadily throughout the show.  Faded out here at 1126 before apparent s/off.

Thanks BBR!

I was just reviewing my overnight recording and also caught this. Radio was on 6925u and must've been slightly off frequency as the recording has a strong het, so it appears that the signal strength was good.

Computerized female voice at sign-on, then clear BoomBox Radio ID by computerized male voice asking for reports to be emailed for a QSL.

SDR recording catch. Noted here from sign on with a barely evident carrier and audio, then at 1118z it suddenly jumped to S9+ mid song. You certainly got your early morning propagation enhancement, at least to my QTH! :-)
