Just about even with my S7 noise floor here.  Hard to copy but occasionally rising to readable levels.  However, I enjoyed the live stream at ballsmacker.net and got this SSTV image.

Back on the air in 10 minute intervals this morning with the same JFK format.  I did a search on the forum for 9025 and found this goes back to at least 2018.  Back then this station (if its the same one) was playing Calvin Coolidge clips.  Very strange things are amiss here!

quote added by Ray :

1523 Kennedy Speech
1527 off
1533 back again Kennedy Speech
1537 off
1543 back on Kennedy speech
1547 off
1552 back again Kennedy speech
1557 off
1602 back again Kennedy speech
1607 off
1613 back again Kennedy speech
1618 off
1623 back again Kennedy speech
1628 off

Signal weak but readable. S7 to S9 (S7 noise floor) on inverted L.
keeps repeating same J F Kennedy speech
9025 is the ALE frequency for the High Frequency Global Communications System.

This exact thing is happening again today.  On and off again just like before.  JFK inauguration speech.  Logged here from 17:20 to 18:42 3/29/23 until I got tired of it all.  Average signal of -89dBm.

At 02:08 I can hear a Camel cigarette commercial.

Some deep fades but back to S9 +10 with "Love Train" at 00:59.
Signal still holding strong S9 at 01:32 with "Woman on a Train".



Thanks for the show.
