UNID - 6925 AM - 0212 UTC - July 21 2013

At 0212 I heard the greaser oldie "What's Your Name" by Don & Juan (in progress) being played on 6925.
Signal wasn't great, just above the noise, was in & out a bit, but copyable, and then nothing.
Not sure if signal dropped back into the noise, or if that was it. Don't know if anything preceded it.

According to the logs for Radio Free Whatever xmit earlier, this was about 5 min after they signed off, but I tend to doubt it was them... Signal should have been a lot stronger for me based on others who logged who are relatively "local" to me.

SDR recording catch, 0215-0218z, if I was hearing the same station, tough copy but I think I heard the same song. Really down in the noise.

Your times are probably more correct than mine...
I had to convert to UTC from my regular EST clock, and not the one in the radio I normally use.
