Radio Morania signed on at 6925.5 KHz AM with a nice S9 signal at 2237. "The voice of the free Moranian empire". Some moderate fading for this classic relay.

Tuned in in time to catch Moranian Mailbag & the letter from CM Stanbury II. Haven't heard Morania on the radio since the late '80s.
Thanks for the relay!
