01:20 I was so looking for this year's Halloween show but the propagation gods only gave me a carrier into Western New York. 73

Propagation was kinda hit and miss last night. In light of this, I will post links to an aircheck for this broadcast here later in the week. As a special bonus, I will also post an off air recording from the stereo modulation monitor.
Watch this space towards next weekend for the links. Please note, once an official aircheck has been posted, reception reports will no longer be accepted for QSL purposes.

Off air feed from the ASM-1 modulation monitor. There is some distortion in the off air recording, which I did not encounter during lab testing. I guess RFI is the likely culprit, as the PA tank inductor is inches away from some of the audio wiring. https://drive.google.com/file/d/141kddL8JeYFNEfdqaKEz4IvR9aA8FH1v/view?usp=sharing (https://drive.google.com/file/d/141kddL8JeYFNEfdqaKEz4IvR9aA8FH1v/view?usp=sharing)
Email me if you would like FLAC versions of the above files.
Thanks all,
