Fair to good here with some static crashing...best in LSB here for some reason on 6949.2 or .3 ish. Tune in at 0151 UTC to music.
0157 UTC Whole bunch of ID's, into techno kind of R&B pop tune lady singer.
(Hey DJ LT....thanks for being the first to entertain us sordid pirate listener types...the chat room was getting lethargic!)
0204 UTC Scary sounding electronica :o
0210 UTC Signal picking up nicely during the current techno girl group tune!
OFF during the tune playing about 0230 or so....

Listening since about 0152.  All I'm hearing is weak music and talk.  Not enough to make anything out.

S3 to 4 here with static crashes that allow music OK but haven't caught an ID yet. They do seem to be a bit better in ECSSB mode using LSB for some reason. I get them centered at 6949.23khz.
