Tuned in at 2300utc, weak signal, light static, male speaking at length about something. R2000 & dipole.
ID at 2302œutc male slowly saying "this is W (something) 4 letters total. It's WSDR. thanks Helicaster and Ray.
At 2308 hear applause during speech. Sounds like FDR making a speech about WW2. Maybe the ID is WFDR, not WSDR.
Just heard FDR say "since December 7th a state of war has existed." Now hear women singing.
At 2314 hear a different song titled "remember Pearl Harbor."
WW2 song "we did it before and we can do it again." At 2320utc FDR praying on the radio.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

2255 speech in English, too much noise to get more than some words
2301 end of that speech, "this is WSDR" (approx.)
2302 speech from 1941 after Japanese Attack
2310 music 2313 other song
Maybe WFDR, remembering that from a few years ago with same content
2320 speech
2332 one more speech

WFDR, 6950 USB, 2230, 3.17.18.  WWII documentary with many clips from FDR speeches.  I went out for dinner.  Got the ID later from the recording.
