Wow, that's more of an ID than I've ever heard from them!
Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

ive heard them up here in alaska.... better than youd expect.. but never quite enough to make out speech, which seems to be a bit underwhelming
