03:04 I can hear the carrier through SSB - in AM it's sooooo faint S1-2 signal tops. Sorry RFW!
03:25 can still hear the carrier, that's about it.

0230 sign on detected on the SDR recording, but not much more than a carrier here.
0346 Some music audible now, not sure if this is RFW or not.  I can't recognize the song.
0405 Off - perhaps the RFW op can firm if this was their QRT time?

RFW heard here with only a fair signal tonight between *0230 and 0405*.  Really nice peak with great audio during "Mexican Radio".
