2347 "Hot, Hot, Hot",  2349 IDs, email, not moving the meter on my low noise antenna, but would be a reasonable signal if not for unusually loud static crashes, 2353, ID, mentions of Al Gore

Very weak. Can hear the carrier when in USB, but can't make out any audio.

8/22/13, 6975.8 AM, 0007z: Jussst barely audible, some mentions of free radio and Al Gore, global warming.
0009z: Off?  Tough copy, seems to be AM signal in there amid the usual pesque chatter.

Via eastern SDR remote tuner, not a peep via home receiver.
