VoG on 9935 came on about a minute ago (~1908)... the buzzing is gone!  ;D   Its a nice signal.

The signal is 55545 S9+50dB on the Univ of Twente WebSDR. Can't wait to get in the car for the drive home. Hope it sticks around for a few more hours.

Got in the car a little after 2200 UTC. 9935 was weak and mostly in the noise. When it popped out of the noise, there was no buzzing.

While I wasn't able to listen on the way home, at least the transmitter is clean now for when condx are favorable.

This is great news, I'm so glad that the Radio Cairo-esque hum on 9935 kHz is gone.

9420 kHz is still my frequency of choice but I'm going to have to listen to 9935 kHz a bit to see how it comes in.
Florida, always listening via my Tecsun PL-660 receiver.

9420 is usually better. Been listening to it all night tonight (Apr 20, 2016) and checking 9935 periodically.

Was listening to 9935 this afternoon on the U of Twente's WebSDR and at 2154 UTC, the signal went from -28 dBm to the -50's in a few seconds. Band changed. Did it yesterday too.

Signal on 9935 on the ride home today (2200-2245 UTC) was somewhat weak, but started getting better near the end. Would like to listen to 9420, but the car radio on 31m starts at 9500. The radio is a Sony GTX-570S (which is going to be replaced shortly with a Pioneer SW car stereo, as the freq up button on the Sony isn't working right). And the Pioneer starts at 9500 too...

Even though 9935 isn't the best here, I'm still ecstatic that the signal is fixed.
