I have a carrier on 11518.24. Maybe some traces of audio.  WAZU said he is running some tests this weekend on 11518, so not sure if it is him, or something else, or just QRM.

This one has been getting progressively stronger here.  First noticed at 2000 UTC as a very weak carrier and now a solid carrier with weak audio being heard now.  Time to put the headphones on..

2022 UTC: Woah!  Out of nowhere this went from a "barely there" carrier to a massive S8 with full audio.
2024 UTC: "W-A-Zed-U" ID and "Taking a big crap right in the middle of the 25 meter band".  Sounding great now!

Not a very strong copy here in Central Iowa, but they're making the trip. I can hear music, but I don't have a solid enough copy to give more detail than that. Seems to be getting stronger.
