Music. ID and QSL info at 0116z. SINPO 33222. There seems to be an occasional cyclical signal in the background. Maybe an ute?

Noise and static crashing is quite rough, plus the storms across the state on the Atlantic coast probably are not helping here.

Anyway, the trip is being made and modulation is great as usual when the noise cooperates.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)

The things I do for radio. Pulled a temporary coax run from the radio area to the den to hookup the 148' LoG antenna.

SINPO 34333 at 0143z. Still noisy right now, but less fades and a better copy. A few seconds of pesky activity at 0145z, but it appears they QSY'd or whatever.

....

Conditions seem to be improving. Peaking S9+10 and ~36dB SNR. SINPO 54444 at 0154z with ID and website. Intermittent static crashing persists.

....

Peaking S9+10 and ~42dB+ SNR at 0210z.

Again, thanks for the show! :)
