This might be one of the strongest signals of RRO I've heard.  There were times the broadcast was hitting +40 dB.

Accidental stumble on VoT this evening.  Heard the interval signal and had to check it out.  Listed as:
9465    VOICE OF TURKEY   02:00   02:55   1234567   Uyghur   500   72   TUREmirler
Was somewhat weak signal, but IV and ID clearly heard.

Someone played a recording of the Lincolnshire Poacher numbers station recently.  It was nice to hear LP over the HF despite the circumstances

Armchair copy this evening on Degen portable receiver out in the woods.  Usual RRO program format.  Some fading, but signal is strong so not too noticeable.

Huge signal centered on about 6938 just went off the air at 1250z.  S9+20.   Went from about 6918 to 6996.  Guessing it was one of the HF trading signals.

0233z on October 3rd, hearing KFAB on a portable radio in Wisconsin.  IIRC their night time pattern is west, so a nice catch.
