Also sounding great on several different portables with just the telescopic antenna (Sony 2010, ATS-909X, and PL-660) until 1540Z when the signal dropped. Continued to slowly degrade after that.

Very big signal here in Ontario S9.
I liked how when their carrier came on, it covered the other signal (some religious station i think)

WHRI was on until 1458Z then went off. Then some other weak station came on... then KBC booming over it.

No listing for anyone scheduled for 21600 1500-1600.

I only caught the last ten minutes of this, possibly a little less (overslept badly!)  SIO 444 into southeast Wisconsin's marshland.  Deep fades, but still very much audible.  I wasn't even using the Kaito loop for this one, and hadn't plugged the DX-398's power source back into the wall, so the radio was on battery power the whole time.  Booming signal! 

Talk about a Christmas gift from Holland,hm?  Anybody else planning on listening on Christmas morning?

I'd like to, but won't be able to. Will leave the rig on and have the computer set up to record it.
