Very weak signal here in NW Oregon at 04:02Z.  Right at noise level.  Music playing, no ID yet.
Anyone here this station any better?

Got them here at S6 signal, playing 'Past the Point of No Return' by Nu Shooz
I think they ID'ed as Radio True North, but I had a static crash right in the middle of the ID.
0410 - 'Don't You Want Me' by Jody Watley
0414 - 'To Live and Die in LA' by Wang Chung
0417 - Clear ID 'You Are Listening to Radio True North'
Then into 'Hot Child in the City' by Nick Gilder.
Thanks for the show!

Signal picking up a bit as the night goes.  Nice Radio True North ID at 0551 UTC, and a dance tune just before that.  S3-S4 but heavy static tonight making reception a bit rough here.  Most songs recognizable and some live announcements intelligible amongst the heavy noise.

Nice signal into Northern Canada. Just heard The Bangles "Walk Like an Egyptian".
Always great to hear and old friend!
