03:32 hearing flute playing (Native American?)
03:39 still hearing flute music - Signal S4 above an S3 noise floor in Illinois
03:51 signal either went long or gone - no ID heard...

04:06 show came back on! much better signal... more Native American music
04:15 CW song
04:16 song - rock - Black Betty*   _-  *See Token's entry...
04:29 - 04:33  Lots of sound effects (a far cry from the NA music) Abruptly off w/no ID.

04:51 hearing NA flute music (before that was R & R) - Still no ID
04:53 spoof song Do Your Balls Hang Low....
04:54 Rock guitar jam...... bad fading

Station originally tuned up on 6950 at about 0303 UTC.  Then moved down to 6925 at 0304, and back up to 6950 at 0305 UTC.  Lots of changes in audio and level at first, like someone tuning up.  There was some hum and distortion early on, then about 0316 or so signal got very good and clean.  At 0324 UTC signal picked up in a step, major change on TX side it sounded like.  Still good audio.

All of the music on 6950 kHz so far has sounded like stuff from Native American albums.

Weak carrier noted at 0310 UTC. Signal picked up a bit around 0325 UTC and I'm getting threshold audio.

Heard here too. S7 signal at first, then an S9 when it bumped up. It set a nice mood. The last song with a woman and a drum was pretty cool.

RCCI, I don't think this 0406 UTC is the same station.  It is a different audio level, a different signal level, and different direction for me.  Not the same.
