S9 signal on 6772.7 at 1235z.

24017
0101 Tuned in to hear an OM say "go go go"
0102 Music started, country?

24018
Weak audio heard at 0100z.
Checking the SDR recording, sign on was 0031z.  Thanks for the show, OMCS!

S6 at 2147 with an old time radio show.

24020
Up to S7/S8 at 1139z.

The op should play some Belinda Carlisle for Fansome ;-)

Have you had noise pickup issues with your verticals, redhat?

24022
Faded out here at 0536 on the SDR recording, back around 0707. Quite weak most of the time after that, and just a carrier as of now, 1043.

S8 here at 0043z. Great to hear it again!

24024
Weak carrier, no audio making it here.

24025
Yes, thanks whoever you were for the very entertaining shows.  They were appreciated!

There's often been some Earhart related activity on or around 6925 in years past. Something to keep an ear out for.

Heard someone on 6924 just before I had to disconnect the antenna due to a storm.

Checking the SDR recording, sign on was 0120 with the song "Just Dropped In". Insane Radio plays that a long. Unfortunately I had to pull the plug at 0123z due to storms, so I didn't catch an ID, if there was one.

The skip zone on HF is frequency and time of day dependent (well, and solar activity dependent also). The distance appears to be about 100 miles? NVIS is perfect for that. It's actually what pirates are using on 43 meters during the daytime, good for a few hundred miles out. I'd suggest 40 meters (or maybe even 80 meters) during the daytime, and 80 meters at night. YMMV depending on solar conditions.

An extremely weak signal on the SDR recording.
