Not very strong on the different east coast web sdrs that I frequent during the day. Still enjoying the oldies, though. Thanks.

considering the TX is operating just under 1 watt, i am surprised any online SDR's are receiving the broadcast at all especially during the daytime.
is there anything interesting you have found around the bands today i can monitor from my end ?

2043 Some traces of audio now and then this afternoon, just a weak carrier now... oops even that faded out.
2114 Back again, mostly an SIO 333.

2125 UTC "Caravan"-Esther Bertram (S5 peaks with light fading)
2127 UTC OM and YL chatting
2131 UTC "Caravan"-Mills Brothers (Interesting a capella version!)
2134 UTC YL with ID as 98.1 FM...WKZE?...., into "Caravan"-Nick Heyward
2152 UTC Relay of "Gunsmoke"!

2342 UTC Still have a fair to good signal here with "Bad Girl"-ZZ Top
2345 UTC "Milk Cow Blues"-Breakaways
----
0014 UTC "Winterwind"-Cosmic Dealer (S6 and above the noise floor)
-
Fair reception
2258z Unid music
-
2335 Music just above noise.
-
as of 2200z, the power has been reduced from 1 watt to 500mW.
congrats on the very low QRP catches gentlemen ;)

@218 I heard Rikki don't lose that number and that was it ,
Is it still on?
304 The Yardleys/ the light won't shine according to shazam

Noted around 0120 with an SIO 222 to 333 on peaks.
Checking back earlier, SIO 333 around 2210, very good for just 500 mW !
Also quite good at 2243 with an S9!! signal briefly.
Only a weak carrier now at 1303 UTC.
Actually you are fading in now at 1315 UTC. SIO 222.

thanks guys !
ive been asked to reduce the power level further to 100mW which i will do as soon as i get some work done ;)
i will update this post when the TX is at 100mW (its not easy to get it that low).
at 1615z, i will bring up the power to just under 1KW for about a minute as short test.
1617z - now back to 500mW - that was a very interesting test to say the least, it seems i heard some audio distortion during the test, ill have to investigate this some other time though it may have been the online SDR i was monitoring myself on since the S meter on it was "pegged".
edit 1 - located and corrected the source of the distortion, it was in the audio chain.
edit 2 - i believe the power level to be well below 500mW, somewhere between 100mW and 300mW.

1615 Aha, 1 kW. That explains why the signal just shot up. :)
1625 Just barely audible, but I can hear music.
