Came on 0220z, and was about an S9+5 here, with great audio playing country.

Props have gone downhill fast, and is now fluttery and fady with S7 peaks here around 0230z.

0236 Up to S9+10 here during song about a jukebox, followed by "Big John"

Don't recognize the songs, but a good S8 signal with some fading.

They are weakly audible here in MO. Peaking at about S3. way degraded propagation tonight.

Recheck at 2:50z finds them much better now S5 to S6. I can't ID the tunes though. Give me some Hank Williams & Bill Monroe & I'm good,but I don't recognize any of these tunes.

0259 UTC, as others have mentioned a challenging night for propagation. Signal is up and down, Hitting S8 on peaks, then down below the noise floor.

Not a great copy here in Iowa, but it seems to be getting better. Audio seems low for a signal peaking at S9+

Ended abruptly with some sort of weird digital burst at 0305.

They were a nice S7 to S8 here, modulation varied some but good overall.
Playing a lot of popular country music.
Off @ 0305z, no ID heard.

SDR catch. Sign on at 0219z, into music at 0220z "Dust Off The Bottle".  S8 to S9 signal, the modulation seemed a little low.
Peak in the signal around 0245z-0250z, up to S9+15. Then the signal crashed, barely audible by 0300z.
Off at 0305z.
