0441Z Still booming in here...been 20 over 9 ust about the whole time. "Smooth" off Santana's Supernatural album right now...

Okay, the signal started out in the mud, and fluttery.  Once in a while it would fade up with intelligible audio.  It got progressively better as time went by.  at 0420z it was good enough that I could tell what was going on.  The signal was not fluttery, even though it was not strong.

Radio True North, 6940am, 5-4-14, 35432

Lots of flutter on the signal, but about S7 on peaks. Audio level seems low to me.
0350z - melody sounds like "The Gambler", but not sure if the lyrics are matching up.

0351z - Artem's World of Music Show ID
0409z - Cuban salsa style music
0416z - RTN ID - Shaft theme
0430z - Hot Child In the City

Catching RTN here also with a fluttery S6-7 signal and good but alittle low audio talking about music from different cultures. ID at 0410 and 0415 with email adress. Thanks for the show RTN!

[radio_cosmo]

Good signal into Chicago - Latin Rhythm - better copy in USB but an AM signal

[ute_johnny]

0413 This is barely moving my meter but I can make out the music somewhat.
0415 Just caught Station ID w/ email address
0416 Sounds like the theme from "Shaft"
0419 The Eagles "Hotel California"

Had a hard time listening but my antenna setup isn't optimal (hope to upgrade things shortly).  Hard to hear above noise on AM. Hope to catch this again sometime and enjoy the music!

[rdla4]

SDR Catch. Good carrier, audio may be low? Hearing some audio, but its in the noise here.

[Nella F.]

Caught, recorded, v. good signal. Thanks.

[ChrisSmolinski]

SDR recording catch. Started out fairly weak, but steadily improved over time.
