MAC Shortwave 6950 AM 2052 UTC 20 Oct 2013
« on: October 20, 2013, 2052 UTC »
Carrier, very strong, S9+. Looks like it was on a few minutes ago as well, perhaps someone tuning up?
Interval Signal at 2055z.
Audio and sometimes even the carrier dropping out from time to time.

Huge S9+20 signal here at 2111 UTC. Live show with a time check by Doctor Who and mentioned he'd be playing a lot of 45's. Then into Ringo Starr's "Weight of the World".
