Catching it here also on 6920 with the Beach Boys playing into "Diamond Ring" at 0133. Signal is a S6-7 at best, kinda hanging down in the noise and audio good at peaks. "These Eyes" at 0145. Partial ID at 0146 "Radio ????". Faded out right there. Thanks Rafman for the ID! Hard catch here this evening, bummer. Have a great week my friend! :-\

Tuned in ~0140z. It is not moving the S meter, and there are some S1 static crashes so music ID is unlikely here, but there is still just enough modulation for a casual listen.

Station ID at 0146z.

Improved copy at 0150z using USB ECSS, variable preamp, and preselector.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
