Tuned in at 0005utc, not a hint of audio, just the usual background noise. R8 & dipole.

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

 I have been a little busy but I did listen to the show tonight for about 30-45 minutes with blues being played the signal was good for most part but the last 10-15 minutes it dropped quite a bit. Overall good to hear some good music thanks for the show!
