Just tuned in at 0150.  Cam hear a female vocalist but difficult because of heavy static.
Reception in LSB improving legibility.
By 0215 signal too deep in noise floor.  Ute QRM  further hampering reception.
Next time.

not sure if you all hear it but out here there is a very loud over-the-horizon radar occasionally on the upper sideband of the signal.
