1653  Just a bit of a carrier (5-10 dB above the noise) in Wyomissing and not much else.

2002 35443 (with the help of the Elad's noise reduction)

Ballad by a YL singer.  Then another YL singing a 40's ballad.

Nice selections on a Sunday afternoon!

0120  Without the hint, I never would have heard or seen this one!

Regardless, very, very faint and certainly "unusable."

The local "mystery noise" just wiped it out (1613)!

 I went to bed at 0343, but left the radio and MMSSTV running.  This morning (1100 UTC on 29 December), I found two images in history which were the same as reported above.  The first, which was timed at 0347, was in Martin1 and the quality was okay.  The second, which was timed at 0350, was in MR90 and the quality was much better.

Same result as the Radio Star:  Heard the noises and MMSSTV decoded a green mess.  Mode was Martin1.

Noisy here, too.  But for the noise, it would be a very good signal.

2001 to 2008:  Somewhere between "unusable" and "poor" in Wyomissing.

Certainly sounds Donald Duck-like.

Caught the last two or three minutes, including the ID at 1951UTC and the threat of black reindeer!

Good signal, little fading, a bit of noise.

Tuned in at 0237.  Noise is really nasty and although the signal is 25-35 dB above the noise, overall quality is poor.

A time when I wish the Elad had an rf gain control!
