Thought I had finally heard Blue Ocean Radio, but it's RTN. Sounded kinda like instrumental music from '80s movie soundtracks. Heard an announcement, but hard to copy. Lots of jamming from someone who sounded like PPVR.

Thanks for the show!

0656z - Hearing them at S8. Very strong with little to no fade. Playing a song unknown to me but I like it!
0657z - Sorry, they are currently on 6935USB. I guess I should have mentioned that.
0659z - I believe I am hearing Pee Pee Vagina Radio in the background (annoying individual indeed). Thankfully RTN is MUCH stronger. Thank you RTN!

I popped on to hear 2 songs just before the QSY to 6945. No other station heard.

Loved the music, RTN! ;D

E5 using ECSSB to cut through the QRN.

Peace!

Noted on all three frequencies here. Weak signals at first as usual for RTN at this QTH, getting better as it got later.
