Occasional audio when I step outside with the PL-600. For some reason, main equipment (all indoors) is not cutting it right now, although being an hour before sunset surely isn't helping matters. Hope the signal improves! Last logging of this station was in May April 2016.

0023 getting some audio on the SDRplay, but it's noisy. Big band music.
0026 "Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree" Glenn Miller
0032 "Oh! You Crazy Moon" Glenn Miller
0039 "I'll Be Seeing You" Frank Sinatra
0042 "All The Things You Are" Artie Shaw
0055 "She Fought Like A Tiger For 'er 'onour" Gracie Fields
0058 OM voice, possibly sound clip from the movie, into "Rum and Coca Cola" Andrews Sisters
0112 OM voice, possibly station ID, into "As Time Goes By"
0115-0140 broadcast under the noise for the most part.
0142 almost completely faded out

Rough copy all around, but I made a video anyway. https://youtu.be/6ZEOy7nwAfw

Thanks for the show!

I've got a carrier fading in and out in CA with the sun still up.  Seems to get better as sun goes down.

I'm using an SDR. I switched my software and now can hear some music if I turn it way up. The other software had a lot of noise.

Clarinet music.
0156 I heard an ID. ...listening RAdio....send reception reports
