On 6940 I received bursts of Premier Radio around 1947, but the signal which peaked around s7 soon disappeared. Then the signal reappeared and I heard "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohn at 1955, followed by Procul Harum - "Whiter Shade of Pale" at 1958. Peak of s9, but fades of down to s0!

At 2003, I could still hear a weak to fair signal from Laser HH on 6285, so conditions for early evening short and medium skip seem to be improving. Watch this space!

Also on 6220 there was a strong station with no heard ID underneath an equally strong utility during the late afternoon and early evening. As the utility got weaker in the early evening I heard "You Should Be Dancing" by E Sensual, around 2010 with 44334. The station closed around 2023.
