While at work, I had them strong on 9580 between 1030z until 1300z with some great music in the 1100z hour.  Great to have them back.

9580 kHz

SIO: 344
Much better with CRI on 9570 now off.
Always heavy QRM when they are on.

1324 Sat. Night Country, " Darling are you drinking too much" playing.
1337 CRI back on 9570, heavy splatter,even with narrow 2.4 kHz filter on. >:(

Glad RA is back on, my Sat. morning is normal again!
