SW-J:
more to follow

0301z ID: "This is ... shortwave" - there was a fade at the ... part.

Signal strength is wild - selective fading with peaks to S8 into Texas

0304z Really a pretty good sounding signal ... still experiencing some wild/selective signal fading

SW-J:

0321z QRN has picked up here in the last little bit; RSS in the area of S5 to S6 about the level of the static crashes for me ...

SW-J:


Radio Ronin Shortwave, RSS, recorded earlier - before QRN began to rule the roost and send the S/N ratio 'southward' - as he ID'd and made an announcement rounds about just after the top of the hour:

Zoidberg:
Blues or blues-rock just audible around 6950.5 AM since around 0300z. Not quite strong enough yet to ID songs or copy station IDs.
0335z: Just heard Radio Ronin Shortwave ID, e-mail address and mention of FRN. More blues, signal a little stronger now.

Listening on barefoot Magnavox D2935 portable indoors. Dunno why but this rig seems to work better than anything else I have with AM pirates.

Fair peaks occasionally, rapid fluttering fades.

Are you using the Magnavox with a loop? That can help some too ... this 756 also has some issues with AM to start with (there is a 'void' fidelity-wise, the best way I can explain it, when tuned directly onto an AM signal/the carrier freq for some reason and I don't know why ... tune off a few hundred Hz and it sounds  better, even with voice on 80 M)
