I have yet to hear any trace of either audio or a carrier on this frequency, despite many attempts at different times over the course of several days.  ???

Thanks for the info Chris! I have not given up hope...guess it's a hit or miss and we keep missing! :)

EDIT:I have detected a weak carrier at 2314 UTC  ;D

Neither have I Skipper, although my neighbor, who lives two miles to the east of me heard this on this past  UTC Friday at 0300 "blasting in" in East Tewksbury, but just about gone at 0315 UTC.

0348 - Finally a pretty good sig from this station. Easy 59 sig here
          (through RN crashes). Sounds best in SAM mode. Anyone
          who plays Pink Floyd can't be all bad! :)  I can still
          hear the sweeper in the background - I hear the same(?)
          sweeper up around 11+ mHz. Also some ALE under @ 0353

  Been listening on/off for a few days HFU tips. 0407 Z playing Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd. SINPO: 4,5,4,3,4, peaks S9 +5, 90% copy. Audio is good! Best in USB for me, AM QRN....great audio though, 8.25 kHz wide. 0418 Z Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd, 0423 Z Waiting For The Worms - Pink Floyd. Greyline just pasted SINPO: 4,5,3,3,3 50% copy. 0441 Z YL with numbers ??? then dead air.
  0530 Z re-check might be relay of marine traffic ??? S4 signal but QRN makes tough copy, AM modulated but best in USB. 0645 Z re-recheck playing music, songs by YLs, I don't know songs, just at QRN level. AM modulated best in USB... SINPO: 3,5,2,3,2+. 0850 Z heard CHU Time Signal Station relayed heard both EE & FR IDs and correct time. 1350 Z now hearing a relay of RHC in SP,  sounds like a news cast. 1530 Z still there relaying a commercial produced program with YL/OM in SP. Is It possible this is a ship at sea rebroadcasting to its (a) fleet ?  :-\ Thanks, nice change!

Got the signal around 0054 UTC, signal was only about an S8, lots of dead air, what sounded like a white noise generator.  Muffled music later, plus talking that was unintelligible. 

Checked in later at around 0100 UTC to hear the Wolverine Radio relay, signal was S9 at this point, very bass heavy but otherwise a steady signal.
