I have Red Mercury playing AC/DC and then into an announcement at 0207 UTC (9/29) on 6925 USB. Nice copy here, solid S9 and peaking to S9+10. After the announcement, into The Doors.

I heard this too, though I couldn't catch an ID and didn't know the music being played.  I *thought* that voice sounded like Captain Ron's!  Aha, I was right!  I did hear the 'I like the noises... on the radio' repetition around 0139, I know that much.  Thanks Captain Ron and RML! 

SIO 434 into southern Wisconsin.  Blame the worst of the interference I was getting on local RFI; I think my neighbors must have some iffy plug-ins somewhere.  The neighbors are cool, but the static is painful!

SDR recording catch. First noted around 0118z with "hello hello hello, Red Mercury Labs... close to a full moon".  Pretty good signal, with some static QRM.
