Piano composition overcoming the S6 local QRN here at 2222 UTC tune in
2227 UTC OM with ID
Signal is fading in and out of the strong local solar power QRN with a couple of S8 peaks...frequency about 6950.7 or so.
YL with ID's at 2237 UTC and 2247 UTC. In between, various levels of audio here. At peaks the audio is excellent! Very soothing music for a Sunday evening  :)
2257 UTC OM with ID..."This is Frederic Chopin Radio", followed by a brief piano flourish and OFF

Thanks for the pleasant change of musical venues FCR! :)

S4 out in Niagara, Ontario, Canada. A lot of static and fading though.
At 22:27 I just heard the 'Frederic Chopin Radio' which was followed by piano classical music.

Got home and checked the SDR to what it had reordered while I was away and it caught a station playing Classical Piano on 6951 AM here at 2218 UTC. Signal was a S7-8 and audio slightly low but still sounded good with long deep fades throughout broadcast. ID's at 2227, 2238 and at 2257 with sign off at that time. Thanks for the show FC Radio! :)
