Heard at 0510z sign on, on the SDR recording, with music. Very rough reception, about S4, and the high static levels made it difficult to pick out any real details.
0515 Possibly an OM talking, could have been an ID?
0607 switched to 6925 kHz.
0612 switched to 6948 kHz.
0630 ID
0631 off

Was Boombox Testing To Europe... after 6925 we switched to 6948.5 before close down at 0630... LT
Regarding 6948... no changes .. musta been propagation... only a weak carrier observed in Holland :(

Thanks for the confirmation BBR!

I did catch at ID just at sign off.

FWIW, the signal was better on 6948, I am not sure if this was due to propagation, or if you made any changes on your end.
