S7 signal here with some light fading, overall pretty good signal with live mentions of targeting Europe and replays of some older shows.

Dr. Benway Strong and steady here at 17:04z.  Engaging show!

Looking for Borderhunter and seems to be reading him (or his modulation).  Nothing of Borderhunter heard here.

Undercover had a fair signal inot the Mojave Desert in California, at times very good at times not so good.  Video of sign on here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4t_mxdJsYI

Undercover called for Borderhunter to come up and talk near the end of his broadcast, and allowed several periods of no carrier for Borderhunter to respond.  In the end Undercover and Borderhunter did QSO on Undercovers frequency.  They first tried AM but BOrderhunter had a little problem with a transmitter.  They switched to LSB (and presumabaly Borderhunter on a different rig) and made contact.  Part of that QSO here:
