'Bout an S6 here, but will undoubtedly improve.  Hearing Jimmy Stewart talking.

0032 the MAC Weather Report - now about an S9 and holding it's own against the storm QRN

6950 AM 0044+ JUN 29
Can barely hear music and op's voice but signal is very faint and deep in the noise floor.  Best heard, as it is, in LSB.
By 0120 signal improved enough to hear op wish listeners a good week and a happy 4th.  A song by Sinatra(?) followed and then lost signal or s/off around 0125.
