I am located in Southern Saskatchewan, and I was able to listen from 2140-42. The frequency I was able to copy was 9455. There ways a lot of fading and athmospheric noises ( thunderstorms an hour or so away).  I was using a Tecsun S8800 with a W6LVP.

Way up here in the Seattle area between 2145 and 2200 UTC, I couldn't get anything on 5875 or 7360 amid pretty bad daytime noise today, but I could hear the carrier on 9455 kHz until signoff, with bits and pieces of audio fading up, especially after 2150 UTC.

I had it via a kiwi SDR in South America on 7360 (Ascension) with an excellent signal. I could detect a carrier on 9455 here but that was all.
