at this point the signal has dropped to about 2 out of 10, but the waterfall art is still quite legible. I have to stop as I have stuff early in the morning to do.
Sorry for missing a few, I don't have an ap installed to guess the songs, I do fairly well with my own memory most of the time.
Very Strong signal 8 out of 10, very wide bandwidth, wider than I can get using the K2RH KiwiSDR in New Jersey (wait, this radio has no town name???)
This changed over time, at about 0120 the signal was more of a 5 out of 10
