RTN, 6925 AM, 0213, 9/19/15.  AM signal in and out of the static floor, 0217 weak music (tuning in USB to keep away from the peskies on LSB), slowly building and finally clear at 0236 with end of a song, talk and an ID to 4 Seasons.

Some peskies on LSB interfering with the real signal until the signal built up enough to hold it's own after 0236.

Thanks for the show.

Very weak on the SDR recording, but I could get audio in USB mode.

Somewhat better starting around 0345, but then sign off was at 0400.

Was starting to get some nice audio around 0230 before I had to cut antennas again due to approaching storms.

Saw an intermittent carrier on 6925 kHz on the recording last night,
from about 0220 - 0323 or so, but unfortunately the audio
didn't make it to my QTH.

There's always next time.
