Just tuned in...
 
03:10 - Guitar solo leading into vocals around 03:12 z. Continue until 03:30. Then SSTV (I assume)


S7-S8 in Oklahoma City; some atmospheric noise but little fading. Overall, good audio and signal.

I copied the DW beacon early this morning in Oklahoma City EM15.

10/Mar/2023
0605-0652 UTC
Elecraft KX2 and attic mounted dipole oriented EW

Notes: Very weak signal but whoops easily heard. QSB prevented copying all of the Morse message; portions copied: "DW" "BAT" "TMP" "66" There was a lot of atmospheric noise (QRN), so I had to use quite a bit of attenuation on the receiver.

Thanks for operating this beacon!

S1-S5 with QSB here in Central Oklahoma.  There is some sort of occasional pulse-like noise too.    However, clearly copiable.

Sign off at 0253z "This Radio Tango America signing off."
