2317Z: S2 on the west coast...super distorted audio and the signal keeps cutting out and getting very weak. Based on signal strength at this time of day and hearing previous broadcasts, my guess is that this is Radio After Dark
2343Z Got his audio issues sorted out...now on 6050u. It's not Radio After Dark but he wants to be UNID for now as he's coming on later...this was just a test transmission.
2345Z off suddenly

0445Z Bouncing between S1 and S5 here...I think we're a bit too close to each other. Good enough copy to make out the tunes and voice ID's though.

0003Z I've got it about 6944.5...fair strength but audio is very distorted to me...west coast, maybe peaking to S3 but pretty much unintelligible.
0018Z has drifted down to about 6944.3...still very distorted audio

2255Z I can barely tell there's a carrier in there out here on the left coast. Condx don't seem very good at the moment. 2 hours until sunset...things might improve then.

0445Z Pretty decent signal out here on the west coast of Canada, peaking S6 on the FT-2000 and G5RV antenna (with preamp off, so that's pretty good). Audio quality is good and modulation level is acceptable. Playing a selection of unfamiliar (to me) music which is not bad to listen to.

Thanks for the show.
