My first time post ..Hope I don't  screw up :) :)

"Radio True North" Heard very strong here in B.C. may 4th 04:00 utc .. Video on Youtube shows signal is 59+20 to Fading very rapid with Aurora back scatter in 10 minutes . DJ was spinning some great classic Vinyl from Fleetwood mac, SRV, Eagles and compliments going out various listeners.

Check out the video on the Tube

I would like to point out I have 2 more Videos on YouTube one is when this station was eaten by ( same night)  the Aurora  flutter that is when I lost band condx. .
Received on a Classic Yaesu FRG-7 Inverted Vee @ 45 FEET

If your not pleased with this report let me know and I will shut up .

Thanks for the great report and video! Sounds like you had pretty strong reception, from the video.

My only tiny suggestions would be include the date in the logging title (since we get lots of reports late it's tricky to sometimes tell what date a station was heard just by the title), and use kHz (6940 in this case) rather than MHz.
