Nothing here in Colorado, weak on NH and NJ kiwi SDR's. Best signal so far is at NE Pennsylvania Web SDR, about SIO 222.
2211 carrier now visible on my waterfall here in Denver. Nothing close to audio, but signal improving in PA, SIO 333 now.
2243 still fair in NE PA.
2244 off suddenly, but back on after about 15 seconds, then off after a few.
2245 carrier back, light audio
2252 starting to fade away

2257z Barely readable here. Have to listen in sideband to make out any music.

I got an email from John Poet at 4:12pm cst or 2212utc. I tuned in at 2230utc and barely detected carrier in ssb mode under low noise level. R8 & dipole.
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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
