2330Z Tuned in to strong AM signal on 6940 AM playing pop tunes. I have it on good authority that this is Radio True North.
2345Z Station ID and shoutout to me and others. Still good S9 signal here in spite of M Class long duration flare in progress.
0017Z Still booming in here, S9+15db on peaks...playing an assortment of 80's and disco sounding music.
0150Z approx, switched to 4070 kHz.
0158Z signal peaking to S7m good audio at my west coast location
0208Z RTN playing my request..."Great Big Johnson" :-)
0217Z Band going long and RTN dropping into my noise level. Thanks for the show, RTN.

  RTN: 2338 playing mx, "Hey Mickey", Michael Jackson, "Pop Goes The World". S5 on peaks terrible attenuation and QSB to signal.Best in ECSS LSB. 0220Z, 4070 mx song by yl, fading in/out as a wave, not bad on peak S2-S3. Again best in ECSS LSB. Probably hop going long.

Moved to 4070 khz.  Thanks to whoever changed the subject.  Trying a lower frequency again.  Just for the fun of it.  Thanks for all your reports.

Last night on 4070 the signal came up to an S7-S9, then went down to around S6..
A little after that, I caught this SSTV. It was around s6 and then the signal came up a bit in the middle as you can see but it went back down again :(
Thanks RTN-man.
