2320 I think I can hear some audio but it's buried under the big utility signal that pops up around here. It could also be peskies.

Perfectly copyable though not very strong here in CO as of 0325 UTC on 16 JAN 2022. Good whoops, and if I knew CW I'm sure I could convey that info.

2314 OM speaking, fair signal here
