I see the carrier on the SDR but very little audio. He usually gets better as it gets dark here. I saw some CW at 6923 at about 00:08. The CW was pretty weak too

00:37z  CW on 6924.7...again. I didn't copy though

S9+30 in Boston over an S5-7 noise level...some fading, but still a pretty good signal.

- Lou Vega, "Mambo Number 5" at 0040
- Hall and Oates, "I Can't Go For That" at 0042 with some Morse in the background

Thanks for the show!

Just heard Hall & Oats at 0043z, S6-S7

I'm also hearing occasional unknown communications going on underneath, sounds English but faint, in the upper sideband.  CW also noted in the lower sideband as reported by others.  Audio seems a bit distorted or "pinched" during the Asteroids Galaxy Tour song at 0117z.

0215z: Also heard "Walk the line", but this was coming from another station while RFW was in the middle of another song.  Walk the Line ended, then heard faint YL voice under the song that RFW was playing.

0229z: Whisper ID and off

Turned on set at 0132utc, hear bits of audio including punk rock or heavy metal, poor due to static, would be better without static. (edit) Johnny Cash "I walk the line" at 0213utc.

Same details as everyone else, except I picked it up from my QRH in the UK!

Recorder Catch on 6925USB.

Fair to good signal here with music and several IDs.  Thought I heard a cover of Bobby Vinton's "Blue On Blue" there towards the end.  Whispery ID just before going off.

Thanks RFW!
