At 0117 utc I just barely hear any audio under low noise level. 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.

Heard from 0050z on the SDR recording with an extremely weak SIO 111 signal.
Up to an SIO 222 around 0230. Maybe some peaks to SIO 333.
Gone around 0429.

Great to hear XLR8 again!
