Behavior Night on WBCQ, 7490 kHz, 04 OCT 2019, 2100 UTC

This is a pleasant surprise, one I'm inclined to credit to my newly mounted G5RV which is situated SSE-NNW along the western edge of my neighborhood plot. In recent years WBCQ at 2100 on 7490 simply wasn't there to be heard until later in the fall, and their 5:00pm Eastern time slot (WBCQ sticks to Eastern time, not UTC) was easier to get when we're off DST and that time corresponds to 2200 UTC. Not to mention that the days are shorter and it's closer to sunset. But I'm copying it today, fair signal overall (let's say SIO 232) with some good peaks. Looking forward to hearing this more, as it's one of my favorite programs that WBCQ relays.
