Now THATS impressive !   Randy, are you on the Gulf side or Atlantic side of North Florida?

I'm in North Central Florida near Lake City, Fl - approximately equidistant from each coast. Many azimuths to DX from here involve paths completely over salt water - or nearly so - I do believe that helps. In many directions - first "hop" is salt water...

VERY clear ID on this YouTube clip! 1800 plus miles distance - as received in Florida, USA...

Starts with female announcer in Spanish for about 10 seconds - then a musical "newsy" flourish (I don't know what it's called in the business) then at 13-14 seconds a very clear male announcer with "Caracol Radio" followed by music as they fade in even stronger...

Radio Pushka 6920 AM 11:47 UTC 9 FEB 2022

I have been updating a one day old post...starting new thread.

11:47 UTC / 6:47 AM US Eastern time hearing weak AM signal (listening in USB/zero beat) in Florida with music/vocals - fades in and out - occasional peaks with clear audio

11:53 hard rock music faded in briefly

11:55 Definite clear ID Radio Pushka!

12:01 much fading in and out

12:18 still detect carrier but not strong enough for any audio except very occasional burst - looks like total fade out coming here in Florida.

12:47 hearing some audio fading in again briefly

. . .
