We have been hearing RTN for the past hour. Today he sounds like a local am stations. Very clear with very little fading on this side of town. Really enjoying the show. Thanks RTN

Also a very strong signal into north Canada. Genuine S-9, sounds like a pro SW broadcaster. Always a pleasure to hear an old friend.

In and out of the S9 noise here.  Heard a bit of "Lady in Red" at 0624z, and a clear Radio True North ID at 0626.

Thanks RTN.  Looking forward to winter when this static quiets down.

Been listening to RTN on and off all night. S5-7 at home base as well a NH remote. Very good signal and tunes!

Thanks for the show!

Carrier sign on noted at 0230z, but extremely weak at that time. Improving by 0530z.

I was tearing down the road when I came upon one of my favorite spots, a butte just off of a parking area.  I brought the G3 along for amusement, and was a bit surprised to hear music on the last frequency left on the radio from my last show.  This was with just the whip antenna sitting atop the car, I with a notepad and earbuds inside the car.

6945 KHz AM, 8-4-2012 great sounding audio, about 3/5 signal with deep fades and lots of static crashes.

0713 "Take my breath away"
0714 Radio True North ID, talk of spinning vinyl, shoutouts to listeners, including one in New Zealand 4,000 KM away.   Nice catch!
0715 80's Tune w/ YL vocals
0718 "True Colors"
0720 Some 80's dance tune, reminds me of the Petshop Boys.

Had to pack it in and keep on driving, Thanks for the nice surprise RTN!
