Fabulous AM signal and audio in New York.  Contest details, now playing Squeeze, "Pulling Mussels From a Shell".  Thanks, Mr. AC!

If you take requests, how about "Youth Nabbed as Sniper" or "Detroit 442"?

WTF ? 6960.7 AM 2055 UTC 7 October 2018
« Reply #9 on: October 07, 2018, 2058 UTC »
I see this may in fact be Illuminati relocated from 6965....if so, sorry about that!  Music at tune in 2055 or so, good signal amid interesting propagation conditions and geo storm.
