Extremely weak signal here again on various antennas.

That transmitter from Carillion ain’t working right guys.
Currently using:
Sangean ATS-909X, Lowe HF-125, Trio R-2000, Yaesu FRG-7.
Various Loops, Wire Antennas with Howes CTU8 ATU.

Shazam used when needed

I take it he’s aware of it, has he mentioned it in the broadcasts? I considered texting him a few nights back about it.
