Someone just fired up on 6925 with a really nice AM signal, playing Leonard Cohen's Halleluiah.

Likewise, a reasonable signal into northern New Zealand!  First time I've caught this operator.

Weird propagation tonight! New Zealand hears it, and I'm in NJ and getting nothing from Boston!

0551Z, I have a good signal on 6925 to the west coast only it's USB, not AM....currently playing something Calypso sounding
0554Z, got a positive Pirate Radio Boston ID, reading letters from listeners, definitely USB, not AM. About S3 here...
20th Anniversary show...I suspect this might be a relay...
