WREC - Radio Free East Coast on 6925.0 kHz USB.

Listening on both my local RX and on the K2SDR.  Nice WIDE audio!  

1657 UTC - "Riding on the Freeway" at 1657 UTC.
1658 UTC - "WREC Radio Free East Coast Audio Test" ID at 1658 UTC
1658 UTC - "Pirate Radio on Shortwave" 1658 UTC
1702 UTC - Conclusion of audio test of Radio Free East Coast and email address for QSLs 1702 UTC into "Centerfold" - GREAT TRACK!  
1704 UTC - Audio quality and signal strength steadily increasing during "Centerfold"
1705 UTC - a massive dip down into the noise at 1705 UTC) then it came right back!
1706 UTC - Talking about HFU comments, saying one more song before signing off, email address for QSLs...and, another classic track - Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf"  still some fading/QSB, but great solid signal overall SIO 455.  
1710 UTC - Appears to be QRT or has faded out. 

Thanks for the show WREC!  Always love hearing your station!  Whatever audio adjustments you were making, they sure did the trick.  This is some of the best audio I've ever heard.  Keep up the good work.

Slight QSB but really really nice audio on the peaks.  Had to crank the passband up to 4.5 kHz and the audio really comes screaming through.

There's been an carrier fading in and out on 6925.00 kHz, not sure if its another station or local QRM, but I was able to hear WREC in AM mode when the carrier was there!
