Sounds great here. S9+10, minimal fading, low noise, 4 kHz wide signal. Mentions of Gander and PEI; this is a Canadian feed.

Was that you broadcasting Casey Kasem on 6950 earlier?

Was a tough catch here until signal improved massively here starting with the Cheech and Chong skit. Using more power? Or maybe just the ionosphere being more cooperative...

Have it here too, rather weaker signal than reports to the north of here, S5 with occasional peaks to S7.

OM mentions "rambling" at 0105, back into music.

Signal has improved a bit here, helped by low noise. S6 now and more readable at 0118.

SSTV at 0136.

Another SSTV at 0212.

Still going strong here at 0020 on 6865, +20 with a signal that is at least 10 kHz wide and fairly stable.

"The Promise," The Pretenders, Morrissey and A-Ha ("Take On Me") all heard since the top of the hour.

MRI "Batman" ID heard at 0029, followed by "We Close Our Eyes." Signal occasionally struggling against noise now.

0049 U2, "In The Name of Love."

Signal degraded quickly during the song "Luka" and was totally lost in the noise here by 0108.
