Really weak in Wyomissing.  QRM from the LSB folks.

Mostly "unusable."

Tough copy here but a clear ID at 2331 UTC and plenty of snippets of bluegrass style music are audible. Maybe peaking at S3 for me.

Pretty much unusable signal on AM.  A little better on USB.  Maybe it will improve, just changed to local dark here.  

Sounds like Southern Gospel type music.

Carrier 6924.45 var.
Carrier frequency a little variable and audio fairly poor.
Amazing grace (done mighty slowly) 23:56 among other tunes.
I never heard a clear ID
S7-S8
Carrier off 00:03:30
