Tuned in at 2324 in time to hear the canned ID and trumpet call.  Good audio, S8 in New York.

Twilight Zone theme, Paul McCartney "Band on the Run." No IDs, but based on the TZ theme, I'm guessing that this is Captain Morgan. Just checked the Twente receiver & it's still too early for the signal to reach Europe. A whole bunch of computer-voiced IDs at 2325, then off

Cap, I heard something in there, but there's a local source of noise near my QTH that make 6350 to 6400 KHz a chore on good days. The time and frequency is dead on. There was stong het when I switched to ssb but getting anything out of the hash generated locally was impossible. I'll give you an S-9 for just being able to notice there was something there when I first tuned by with the radio set for AM. Nothing ever gets over that pile of noise. You were damned close.
