I got him on 6934.96am, very respectable S6 signal with sign-on theme after long dead carrier.  Nice audio.

Listening here from 0334 with dance and rap.  IDs and addy at 0341.

Very nice here at S7 average, but some nice peaks to S9+5, with great audio.

Thank you RTN!

Clear IDs with some promos and into "Popcorn"--I think the original version at about 0355. Fair sig here--better than usual for the 43m nighttime shows from RTN.
Thanks much for the shows!

Receiving RTN here in NW Oregon.  Thanks RTN!  Anyone else hearing the warble around 6965 that travels down to 6935 then back to 6965.  looks to be about 15 wide, zigzag pattern on the spectrum, screenshot attached.

Hi Chipensaw...yes, we're all hearing that sound...seems to be some form of OTHR (over the horizon radar)

SDR catch. Carrier up at 0319, started to hear music around 0326, tough copy at first, with the signal improving over time.
