Breakfast With Boombox Radio 6850 AM 1210 UTC 4Oct15
« on: October 04, 2015, 1218 UTC »
Just having the first cup of Folgers: "The best part of waking up is going back to bed"

1210 I have S4 carrier with just a hint of audio from time to time, not enough to ID mx.  We'll see if things improve.
1224 I think I just heard the ID and addy
1235 reception has been deteriorating, sorry to say
1241 off about this time

Thanks DJ LT, and good morning to you!

Thanks to Skipper, Joe Flips and Mr. Farley for trying!  We shut it down at 1241 and decided to scramble up some eggs instead.
Enjoy your Sunday.

I checked the SDR recording. There was a super weak carrier, no audio at all, until about 1240 when I could start to hear very weak audio.
Then at 1241 the signal came up. Went from S0 to S9 in a matter of seconds as the band opened for NVIS. A solid signal for the next two minutes, until 1243 sign off.
Timing is everything :-)
