I have them here in Iowa with the Smashing Pumpkins Sheryl Crow's If it Makes You Happy, and Dear God by XTC, but it's pretty rough going tonight. The pescadores are loud no matter what direction I point the antenna. SIO 222

SDR catch, 0252 sign on with a very weak signal. Audio there, but quite low, just above the noise level. Too late for short skip (NVIS).
