2200 UTC Hearing a speech right at threshold.....high noise level this evening. I suspect this is our old friend WFDR, but reception is difficult here.
2204 UTC Signal up a bit now, but still can't ID the voice as that of FDR
2210 UTC Not hearing anything now, so OFF or faded out

Speech about WW2, and then the National Anthem. Show is right on top of a pesk or the show has the pesky in it. I think he said " happy weekend". Good broadcast and thanks.
