s-9+ 10 to 15 here in CNY, noisy hr tonite but near full quieting signal, good quality
at this moment, s9+20 signal....condx improvement
01:21 s-9+20
i'm an radio amateur but no contester..
take note sw listeners.. cq ww ssb contest this weekend, all HF bands will be swamped with contesters
this area of radio is the only refuge from the madness..

01:42 radical change in condtions.. signal faded into noise

Moderate to low AM carrier sometimes copyable but often not. Disappointing Ballsmacker! Signal slight improvement into consistently copyable range with medium to high AM carrier during latter part of the broadcast.
