The band hasn't opened for me yet in SE NY, only a carrier here at 1537 UTC.  However I'm listening to it on a remote SDR, where the waterfall is displaying an amazing 10 kHz wide signal in each sideband.  With the low MUF, I wish stations would consider using 48 meters.  Beatles "Here Comes the Sun" at 1540 UTC.
