Old R&B at 2350 -- over South American pirate which had been increasing in signal level.

2356  Weak with lots of noise.  At first, at 2353, it was almost understandable, but now, at 2356, I am only aware that there is music.

SDR recording catch. Some JBA audio at times. One of these days, Captain, and I will hear a real good signal from you.

SDR recording catch. Fair signal, but considerable interference from, and to, the South American pirate station AD149 Radio on 6934.9.  North American pirates may wish to avoid 6935 when this station is on the air, typically heard in the 2300-0200 UTC time period.
