SDR recording catch. 0132 sign on with an SIO 433 signal. A good signal for a few minutes, then around 0135 the signal quickly faded out over the span of a few seconds. I could faintly hear some audio and see the carrier now and then, like around 0138, but the signal was pretty much gone. Maybe someone further west had it?

Thanks to Chris, I checked my tonight's Perseus SDR recording again and
discovered Radio Azteca as well here in NW Germany!
Still noisy band again, many ups and downs but Azteca came through clearly.
