Post by: philcobill on May 04, 2014, 0312 UTC: Okay, the signal started out in the mud, and fluttery. Once in a while it would fade up with intelligible audio. It got progressively better as time went by. at 0420z it was good enough that I could tell what was going on. The signal was not fluttery, even though it was not strong.

Post by: Zane on May 04, 2014, 0353 UTC: Radio True North, 6940am, 5-4-14, 35432

Lots of flutter on the signal, but about S7 on peaks. Audio level seems low to me.
0350z - melody sounds like "The Gambler", but not sure if the lyrics are matching up.

0351z - Artem's World of Music Show ID
0409z - Cuban salsa style music
0416z - RTN ID - Shaft theme
0430z - Hot Child In the City

Post by: ute_johnny on May 04, 2014, 0418 UTC: 0413 This is barely moving my meter but I can make out the music somewhat.
0415 Just caught Station ID w/ email address
0416 Sounds like the theme from "Shaft"
0419 The Eagles "Hotel California"

Had a hard time listening but my antenna setup isn't optimal (hope to upgrade things shortly). Hard to hear above noise on AM. Hope to catch this again sometime and enjoy the music!
