Why in the world would you have two stations in so close proximity one is on 6880 and now this one is on 6876KHZ at 23:31UTC? Signal is decent but there is some static and one time there was splash coming from from the other station.
Dust my broom by Jon Lord at 23:34UTC
My Baby walked out at 23:38UTC There are issues here as these station bleed through!
Pinball Wizard by The Who at 23:42UTC seems that Radio Boston is gone or either there is the splash from 6880khz that has taken over. I think Radio Boston is gone!

Not even a hint of a trace of a carrier here....propagation is abysmal today and the T-storm noise is brutal....  :(

Same as what Chris reported. I could tell it was there, but that was about it.
