Sign on shortly after 1800 with music, ID, sound effects, about S-5 here with local noise.
Full ID and email 1814, signal improving a bit as well, Linda Rondstadt's "It's So Easy" at 1815.
Weaker now at 1825 UT. Nothing like the E1 to bring out weak am audio. Off at 1900

I have the slightest hint of a CARRIER that started @ 1758 UTC….but certainly no Audio here on the ELAD FDM-S2!! Was hoping to hear this…but a Carrier won't be good enough…..
Thanks for the tip on the ECSS Rafman!! I tried ECSS and I now have TRACE AUDIO @ 1833 UTC, and I can see the Signal (Barely) on the Waterfall!!
I sure can't make out any of the Audio….But I can hear it vaguely and see the signal now!!
Chris…Maybe being on the East Coast is helping you a bit too?? I'm over here in the landlocked Snowbelt of S/W Ontario!!
Thanks for the ELAD Tricks on ECSS Rafman!! I just got the ELAD and still learning the ropes!! Good advice always appreciated!!
Signal on Waterfall Display and Carrier gone just after 1900 UTC!
Did I have them?? Who knows???

1839z clear ID w/email, into "Born to Be Wild" Steppenwolf
1845z ID w/email

1859z mention of MW tx & coverage
1900z /off
s3-5+ on peaks
Thanks for the show!
Rocky, might be but the ECSS is a magic trick on carrier-only spottings... I've had flat out noise & managed to extract audio from it!! Keep Lock BW around 100Hz so it don't go "wandering'...
My other poss advantage is the 41M beverage antenna here... I can almost hear French Fruit Flies Flatulating!!! ;D
