0137 UTC SIO 222, I can see a faint trace of a carrier but nothing else. Hopefully Prop. will change.

0215 UTC I have a weak carrier here in Springfield, MA....I will check this out again early in the morning. It has been quite awhile!

I have him with Slavic music. ID at 0245 UTC.

To give you some indication, Ball Smacker is currently pretty much neck and neck with Pushka, both around S7-S8, and the former is on the east coast. He must not be using high power at this time.

On the other hand, sunset has not arrived here (~0315 UTC) so we shall see.

Best propagation to the east coast (confirmed in software) should be approximately just before your dawn and then there might be some gray line enhancement while the sun rises for you.
