Just above the noise floor here, about S2. Seems to be slowly improving.

Very tough to pull this one out. Higher noise levels here with all the Christmas lights getting turned on. Signal is right at my S5 noise level. 25241.

Black Cat Radio ID by male op at 0126z popped out with a lucky fade-up. Difficult to make out some of the music. SSTV tones at 0129z.

0114z - Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Always great to hear David Gilmour)
0132z - Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale.

Thanks Redhat. Always a really enjoyable show.

Channel Z making it into Chicago with a S7 signal, fast fading down to S5. Fairly high noise level, so audio is getting beat up pretty good. B52's at 1442z

There's definitely an AM signal there as of 0118z. Hear some audio on filtered usb trying to avoid the BC splatter from 6145.

0200z - With the BC station gone, I hear more audio now on sync'd AM, but still not strong enough to be clear.
