I've been enjoying the improvement in the signal since they first returned to us three weeks ago. I got a very clear signal at sign-on (1800) that first day, but it faded quickly and then there was nothing copyable for the next couple of weeks. (Not just on the days where the K index hit 6.) But it's been much better the last few times I've checked it out. It starts out strong, still fades as time passes but usually there's at least trace audio for most of the scheduled broadcast time. Hopefully this will be an almost-everyday listen this summer.
