0248z - Noticed a carrier, will go back later and check the SDR recording for a sign-on ID.
0250z - Pretty faint, but I can hear music in USB.
0258z - OM "Check 1 2 3", identified song as "Chase"
0259z - Radio True North ID loud and clear!

0311z - Pretty far down into the noise now. Caught a bit of a station ID, but couldn't make out what he was saying.
0314z - We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore fading in and out of the noise.

SDR recording, 0246z sign on with music. Not a bad signal at first, but it got weaker near the end of the transmission - opposite to what usually happens with RTN here.  ID and off at 0438z.

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

On around 0248z, and peaking to around S9 near the front end of the show.  Steady decline to about S6 by show's end at around 0437z.  A het due to being off-tuned marred an otherwise very nice signal.

Thanks RTN!
