Listening here in the uk, signal is weak, but stronger than XLR8 on 6955 atm.

Thank goodness he's transmitting slightly hf of 6925 cos otherwise that would cause big problems resoving against the qrm on his lsb.

No signal drop out here at 02:20z -weak but consistent signal strength.

Sinpo 11232 gone in the log at 02:35z

Thanks for the broadcast ... krissy

Whopping signal here. If it wasn't for the peskies, this would rank a 555 easily.

Nice tunage, I especially liked the Jimi Hendrix cover of Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man".

SDR recording catch. 0158 sign on, S9 signal until 0228 when the signal mostly faded out, but could still be weakly heard. Some QRM from the peskies.
ID and off at 0301.

Recorder Catch on 6925 USB

Well, I took the night off, but The Ghost did show up in my overnight recording, although with a nasty het due to being off-tuned.

FWIW, you showed up around an S8 in the overnite Signal Strength History, and thanks!
