At 23:07, excellent reception out  of Murray Harbour, PEI with a discussion about the Halloween Spooftacular.   "We're just going to have to wing it".  Must be fairly close to our  QTH.  Like a local!

Heard at fair level into Murray Harbour North, PEI until off at 21:03 UTC 6 Nov 2016.  Thought I heard an ID for Laser Hot Hits, though.  73,...Walt salmaniw

I can just make them out as well.  When Cupid faded down on 15070, they came up briefly, but now in the mud again, and marred by OTH radar.  73, Walt Salmaniw, PEI DXpedition.

Cupid Radio coming in on 15070 at fair strength with shout outs to the HF Underground at about 16:40.  Some deep fading.  We're primarily at Murray Harbour, PEI on Canada's east coast for a MW DXpedition, but nice to hear you tonight!  I've heard you from my primary QTH in Victoria, BC in the past. 73, Walt Salmaniw (using a Perseus SDR and DKAZ antenna aimed 60 degrees)

Coming in with a lot of static at 01:00 UTC on 6286.824 in AM.  Might have been an ID but couldn't make out anything, then back to music.  Fair at best.   We're on a DXpedition (primarily for MW DX) from Murray Harbour, PEI, Canada.  73!  Walt Salmaniw  using a Perseus SDR and 60 deg DKAZ antenna).

3 SSTVs, with 2 IDing as Wolverine Radio.  So that's who it was?

01:39 with powerful signal, and still an hour before our LSS on the west coast!   Must be some transmitter.  Nice music, too!   Thanks!

Initially just poor, but now (04:07) improved to good reception.  RTN normally provides a powerful signal into Victoria, but not so tonight.  Perhaps as darkness intensifies here, signals will improve.  73, Walt

More on X-FM.  Did a quick check using Remote receivers.  Well heard in Spain!  Kind of so-so in the US (eastern half, at least).  Really nice into Alberta, tonight, though!  73!

Somewhat difficult copy, with TC for 04:24 UTC, then back into music.  About a S4 signal into WCNA.  Still always amazes me how wide the coverage is throughout North America!  Thanks, Redhat!

Very nice reception into Victoria, BC tonight from 03:05 tune in with same format.  Still another hour or so before sunset, too, so should only improve.  Nice music!   73,   Walt

Quite well heard in Victoria, BC until 03:05 UTC with same alpha-numeric sequences, and "out".  Wonder whether he'll be back.  Caught him after VOA Radiogram on 5745.  Was there an ID for Ride of the Valkyries?   Walt

This is a station some of the people hear have been logging for the past couple of weeks. Format is an electronic, maybe 8-bit version of the Ride of the Valkyries melody followed by OM reading alphanumeric ASCII in hex. Basically someone is doing a pseudo numbers station, so no other ID is given.

Thanks for the explanation!   Walt

0245Z Not strong but clear on the west coast. Copying alpha-numeric figures in groups of 2...about S2 here.

Now on 4020, but seems much weaker than on 4015.  SSTV just now at 02:19 UTC.  Not sure whether I can decode or not on the west coast...a very fuzzy image.  Very hard to make anything out.  Some blue at the bottom of the picture, or more accurately, a blue strip.
