Very faint with Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll", mostly at the threshold and occasionally peaking to recognizable songs.

Carrier and some bits of audio between static crashes here in GA. Nothing identifiable. 0233Z

Weak here, which is odd. I generally receive RTN at S-9 plus. Perhaps it's the season?

Likewise, faint here, but did peak up[ to a nice "This is Radio True North" ID at 0235.

0240Z Can lock on to the carrier, but not all that strong. Hearing music, but not identifiable.

It was the same here,Skeezix. However I had two hets  in there,one down about 6948.8.  I couldn't copy anything but bits of music when one would climb over the squeal of the other.

S6 here with 'Radar Love', then ID and email at 0406z, then into 'Pretty Woman' by Roy Orbison.
Frequent static crashes to S9.

4/22/12, 6950 AM, 0430z: Radio True North fair to good outdoors with Sony ICF-2010 in AM sync.  M "Pop Musik", Boston "More Than A Feeling", Gary Numan "Cars", clear IDs for Radio True North and gmail contact info.  Just a little too much local RFI for clear copy indoors with the Palstar and fugloop.

Via eeevil IRC, rumor sez RTN had to replace a cap that went ka-blooey between broadcasts tonight!

Since 0650z: via east coast web tuner, still SINPO=34243, good signal with minor Spanish language QRM but very crashy QRN.  Aerosmith "Dream On", Madonna "Open Your Heart", Kenny Loggins "Footloose", others.
0716z: Someone likes that Madonna... "Borderline".  Blondie "Call Me", Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill", Simple Minds Don't You (Forget About Me)", Patty Smyth & Scandal "The Warrior"

0750z: Partial RTN ID and "Midnight Express" theme audible on my home receiver with indoor antenna.

SDR recording catch. S9+ signal at times around 0340z when I heard a clear ID, but quite a bit of static from t-storms. Midnight at the Oasis at 0342.

Heard again at 0543, I guess after the cap was replaced.
