Yes BOR, it's tough to hear west past the Rockies from here, unless propagation is super.
This is the best luck I've had getting BOR though. I'll keep trying!! :^)

0505, 0513, faint music w blues harp and/or wailing vocal
0521, 0525, 0527 faint vocal
0530, signal improving slightly. Heard a loud blues howl!, again @ 0538
0541, tune with descending chime-like tones. Signal consistent now, not in & out
0550, ---assuming end of show, haven't heard anything in 5 min.---

=== Thanks anyway BOR! ===

Sorry you're not hearing me well but, I am on the oppositie coast so very far from you. I'll do a show on ssb one of these nights...should be better reception then. Cheers from the west coast....BOR

Post by: cmradio on September 04, 2013, 1012 UTC: I got lucky enough to hear them sign on (0150? My clock was out of whack) as I was spinning through the band. SINPO 35223 near Vancouver.

Peace!

Post by: ChrisSmolinski on September 04, 2013, 1236 UTC: SDR recording catch, sign on seemed to be 0346z, fair signal at that time.
Off at 0545. Thanks for the show BOR!

An extremely weak carrier was also noted on 6930 around 0130z, not sure if this was BOR or not.

What I heard was dead carrier around quarter-to-the-hour, then an instrumental loop that could have been a pro broadcaster beginning at :50. At :55 it was the 2001 Space Odessy music, then into a Bluegrass tune and BOR sation ID at the top of the hour.

Then I fell asleep soon after as the E5 was on my stomach as I layed down :-[ ;D

I know the minutes were right, it's the hour that was looped, as I just changed batteries and somehow messed the time zone setting ::)

Peace!
