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!

All I have is a carrier about 20 dB above the noise. 

I cannot tell if the faint voice that I hear is a transmission or something seeping in from a local AM station.  It is that faint.

Late at another party:  I tuned in at 2106 to faint music, then an OM spoke--no idea whats he said, and it was gone.  All of that and it was still 2106.

Found the BC at 0007
Missed the ID.
Then, after "Standby, Standby," maybe Cooktop Radio?

2020 Pretty weak.  Mostly unusable.  Synch AM helps.
