S8 and excellent audio, but has quite a bit of fading.  Hopefully propagation will cooperate.

Down to S5 and mostly poor copy @ 0059z   :(

Only a faint S3 carrier @ 0111 - no audio.

HUGE signal here in south central lower MI .... Bad Religion "Streets of America after a full ID ... and into Yeasayer "Madder Red" after a few seconds of dead air. Apparently a live show as there was a time check at :18 and into "NARC" by Interpol

I wish my AM Stereo receiver tuned up to SW ..... the modulation is wonderful as always. You should consider offering your services to Radio Cairo!  :)  

SINPO 4+54+4+4+ at first -- nearly perfect but for some selective fading but by the end fading down to 34343 0113-0125  Can tell SOMETHING is still there at 0135 recheck but down to SIO 221 and lost in the noise ....

DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay

Just getting back from dinner at 0110z to find an unmistakable S9+5 signal all the way to the right of the screen.

0123 In a Big Country, Black Velvet, Don't Dream It's Over
0140 carrier just barely visible    >:(
0215 making a minor comeback; can hear mx or voice from time to time

Thanks for the show, redhat!
