0136 Carrier on here at around S9+7; off/on a few times
0141 programming started with unid music; I could never get the gist of the songs; possibly a mash?  The signal was down to around
       S6-S7 here with deep furious fading.
0148 off without hearing an ID

Thanks!

Tuned to an open carrier after the 6930-kHz station went off. Carrier was pretty strong, but the audio that eventually came on (assuming that the dead carrier and the station with the music were the same) was a bit weak and very tough to copy. I agree that the band's noisy tonight.
Thanks for the show or test!

SDR catch. Carrier signal was pretty good at times, but the modulation seemed low.
