Listening from the website with a 10 out of 10. Working on finding a good SDR to listen from.
0151 finally got a strong enough signal, but lots of deep fades from the Traverse City KiwiSDR, it was about a 4 out of 10 when I started a few minutes ago, but now I'm getting about 7 out of 10

Above the noise, around S7 in Chicago on a 40m vertical.   Much better vertical than on the horizontal wire.   Some slow QSB

Sigs have come up a bunch in the last 10 minutes.    The Witch by the Sonics is 20 over S9 right now.  Still better on the vertical here.
