Broadcast in progress static makes it hard to understand. Some type of an interview program.

0002 UTC Blasting in here at S9+10 with BBC World Service news...hmmm
(6850.3ish here with some selective fading, but otherwise superb audio! :))
0015 UTC Signal has dropped down just a bit since tune in, but still quite good here. I don't think this relay site is listed in the WRTH ;D
Still going strong at 0030 UTC. Nice to hear this again in it's proper medium!
0100 UTC Time pips at top of hour and OM with "BBC World Service". Signal is a solid S8 here now.
(Turned off the PC and was going to fall asleep to the sound of Auntie Beeb....when it QRT'd at 0112 UTC I realized just how much we have lost with the emergence of the internet while at the same time how much we have gained, as this was probably an internet stream.  :-X)

Barely audible , in and out of the static

           Distinct British accent

Quality of signal slowly deteriorating from 0011, when I first heard it, and now, 0034.
