You beat me, Chris :) lol

6925 kHz USB,
Faint with Soviet anthem, *2200 UTC. Faint but readable, S-0.

2210- Nice fadeup to S-3/4 on 'Brand New Key'. S-6 on 'Afternoon Delight'
2231 Getting stronger, S-8 peaks on 'Hot Child in the City'

Pretty good signal now at 2335 UTC with 'Disco Duck'. Still around S-5 to S-7 but the audio is stronger.
