Excellent signal. Have it recording via the R-8 and the signal's good enough that I can drag the PL-880 around to listen while I work on stuff. Caught a few nice IDs so far

2137 faint music JBA. This should get better as the day turns to night, if it stays on that long.
2202 now copying on 6885 USB
-
Great S9 + signal here at 2156
-
S8 to S9 most of the afternoon, nice signal.
-
2230: No joy on the left coast at 2230 UTC. Because I know something is there, I think that I might hear music. (You know how that goes.) On the other hand, it is listenable on the Northern Utah SDR with the log-periodic antenna pointed east. About S7 and about 2 S units above the background noise. Very clear and distinct on the waterfall.
2340: About the same on that SDR.
0053: Signal improving as we get later in the day: S9 with peaks at S9+10 on the Northern Utah SDR. Listenable at my place near the beach, signal bouncing between S5-S7 at the moment, with my background noise being a somewhat sedate S4.
0140: Signal now decreasing as the midpoint of the path between the TX and my receiver is now likely past sunset.
-
S6 Decent Signal
2250 - YL w/ ID: "Mix Radio International"
2251 - "Fast Love" - Mads Haaber

23:12 UTC - Tuning in to 6885.0 kHz USB eSSB 8.4 kHz wideband. Signal is +10 over;
23:17 UTC - Station ID: Mix Radio International;
23:48 UTC - Station ID followed by "thanks for listening";
23:49 UTC - "Thank you for the signal report of our station";
01:00 UTC - Signal is still a +10 over but I feel like I have been "on hold" for the past 2 hours waiting for someone from a call centre to answer the phone.
01:59 UTC - End of broadcast.
I was looking through the posts and noticed one entry expressing having issues with the bandwidth of the transmission using SDRplay --- "A signal so wide I can't get it all on SDRPlay".
Switch to the "Digital" mode and select the 12 kHz filter. You can then manually remove the LSB portion and trim the USB bandwidth as required by adjusting the filter bandwidth in the "AUX SP" panel.

Been listening to it for the past hour (now 01:33 UTC) and it's getting stronger and stronger. Still 90 min to my LSS. Live Your Life by Yuna. Occ digital noise present, but not too often.

I was not planning to stay on the air that long. When I saw your reports I changed my mind. I played a mix of smooth jazz with other smooth sounding tracks as this is not heard much on SW. As in the past I play a variety of music not just copying other stations playlists. Thanks for your comments and signal reports. 8)
