Hearing music and OMs talking.  Sounds like dialogue/music from the film The Great Escape

S9 signal level with nice audio

0039 - hearing repeater tones (or roger beeps) in the background

EDIT: I changed the title of this.  I've heard several classic films be broadcast (The Bridge on The River Kwai, several old film noirs such as Double Indemnity, and newer ones like Basic Instinct - not sure if these are all from the same station but...maybe they are?

It does sound like Richard Attenborough
Spoiler Alert: he does not make it.

0045 Now talk with Danny (The Tunneler)
0059 Sounds like The Scrounger checking in
0100 disappeared during "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

Thanks for the show!

0047 - Heard more radio chatter in the background with roger beep/repeater tone

jFarley,

Richard Attenborough (or Steve McQueen, for that matter) don't make it - but some do.  The Great Escape is still one of my all time-favorite films.  So thank you to the OP for playing the audio from it!  :D

0053 - More chatter in the background.  Anybody else hearing this?  Maybe the transmitter is near another receiver or there's audio getting into the TX some other way.

Agreed!

For war flicks, I'll also go with "Where Eagles Dare"

Where Eagles Dare is another classic.  If you go with Clint Eastwood war films, my #1 will always be Kelly's Heroes.  Only in the late 60s would Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland be in the same movie.  "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?!".  Don Rickles and Telly Savalas are great in that one too.  Now I know that one's been played on 6925 kHz before too (or at least the theme song from it - "Burning Bridges" has been).   ;)  That one, along with A Bridge Too Far.  That one's got an ensemble cast that's too long to list.  I actually want to say I've heard parts of A Bridge Too Far on 6925 as well...


0039 - hearing repeater tones (or roger beeps) in the background
0047 - Heard more radio chatter in the background with roger beep/repeater tone
0053 - More chatter in the background.  Anybody else hearing this?  Maybe the transmitter is near another receiver or there's audio getting into the TX some other way.
0100 - Hearing OM singing "O Come All Ye Faithful" to cover up the sounds of digging the tunnels
0101 - "You were a Boy Scout?" "So was I! I had 19 merit badges" "I had 20!"
0103 - "With you in the cooler will we still be friends?!" "I must report this!"
0106 - Distorted audio now competing with station's audio...then roger/repeater beep
0110 - CW
0112 - SSTV
0113 - CW, then more SSTV
---
Tuned down to 6875 kHz AM to listen to XFM sign on.  When tuned back up to 6930 kHz USB, nothing was there.  So I'm going say signoff was with the CW/SSTV

Abruptly off at 01:08

It was definitely the Great Escape.  I clearly heard

"Danish butter, Von Luger's.
I liberated it from his mess supplies.         
Oh, yes. And Dutch chocolate. Two bars."
