Sousa Station 6925 kHz USB 1301 UTC 11 NOV 2017
« on: November 11, 2017, 1319 UTC »
1301 - Reveille 2X, weak but above noise level
1303 - "Star Spangled Banner"
1304 - "Hail to the Chief"
1305 - Medley of US Forces theme songs
1307 - Brief words by OM but couldn't catch what was said
1308 - Sousa marches
1312 - Serious fading
1318 - Sig coming up again
Thanks for Veteran's Day show

1331 - "Star Spangled Banner" followed by what sounded like OM ID
             but again, too weak to make out ID; then s/off?

Thanks for the ID, Chris.
I was sitting here at the radio desk, minding my own business,
having the last of my morning coffee and the last thing I expected
to heard was "Reveille"! :)
