Radio True North on air from 0330Z, so far only music. S7 with a lot of fading on west coast. Thanks RTN
Peaking S9 now at 0442Z with occasional deep fade. Nice selection of music with regular voice ID. Excellent audio quality
Thanks for playing my request...SRV ;-)
Signal has held up well until now, 0750Z...now S5 and in the static crashes although still can copy everything
Signing off now with QSL info at 0804Z. Signal has dropped but still readable.
Thanks RTN for a great, entertaining show...

Hearing techno-dance music here. Strong S-7 signal with QRN and QSB but very nice considering it's summer time. Always great to hear an old friend!
*** Update: Hey, thanks for the shout out RTN!

6/16/2012, 6945 kHz AM,

0742 UTC, heard ID clearly, "Radio True North", but couldn't make out much of the talking prior to that.
Into "No more words"- Berlin

Using pre-amp 2 and Noise Reduction on the R-75 to pull this out. About S-3 without the preamp.

SINPO=24332

Thanks for the late late show, RTN!

SDR recording catch here. Weak under the noise levels, but audible.

Copy getting better around 0730z with "Life in the Fast Lane"
