Finally got the radio hooked up with a good antenna to listen w/o overloading it. AM stereo sounds so very, very nice. The wideband audio + the stereo separation.

Have tried SoDiRa with the Perseus, but can't make out the separation.

I've been trying to catch this station for a long time.  I've never had even a hint of them here at night.  Nice log!

Daytime power is now 850W and nighttime is still 250W (or as they say, "Two hundred and fifty thousand milliWatts of power. To the people.")

They've also been having problems recently. For the past couple of weeks(?) their audio source has been breaking up/skipping. That seems to have been straightened out, but now their xmtr seems to go off the air. They're off now (June 12, 2016 2330 UTC) and have been off for an hour or so. Was listening to them earlier without any problems, then they went off.

Good luck in catching them, they're a tough one for you. But keep trying, perhaps greyline might be the best. Their daytime pattern sprays a bunch towards the E & SE. Nighttime sends it to the SW with very little to the E or SE.
