Audio is very, very low. Turn it up!

The signal is skipping right over the northeast. Reception is better in the midwest. People in the northeast will probably hear some peskies on the LSB and utility QRM on the USB.

0204 "I get around" ~ Beach Boys
0206  'getting better' ~ The Beatles

S-9 plus on the Maryland SDR, strong  audio.

0212-- Some kind of vicious interference wiping out your audio!  Can't identify the type...
but seems more localized near the Maryland SDR.  Switched to Traverse City, station is 10/S-9 there with somewhat weaker audio, no interference heard.
(Maybe Chris is running his microwave oven!  hahaha)

0219 "Get offa my cloud" ~ Rolling Stones
