Hearing the Sheik amidst the atmospheric snap, crackle, pop at 0007 UTC tune in with C&W...Johnny Cash I believe, and Abu's usual witty and entertaining freestyle chat with the folks in Iann's. Bit of band noise this evening also, so only partial copy here....

No joy in Western Massachusetts today Mick....not hearing anything since 2220 UTC tune in. There is a weak shortwave broadcaster off frequency on 11605.1 AM, and I have a fairly high noise level here today.
One of these days.....

Tuned in at 2043 UTC but the signal is at or just barely above the noise floor here. I'm getting bits and pieces of music but nothing that can be ID'd yet
The carrier is quite good here so maybe undermodulated?
Man announcer at 2100 UTC then OFF...no carrier detected at 2101 UTC

Not even a hint of a trace of audio here with the next door microinverter QRN at S6 wrecking any chance of hearing anything at this time of day

Just tuned in at 1113 UTC on 6924.6ish AM! Fell asleep this morning at 0430 UTC to the sound of X-FM and woke up to the sound of Boombox! Transmission seems to be breaking up though...on and off and a little bit of distortion. Much like me before I have my first coffee of the day....
1125 UTC Everything seems to be ok now, but signal strength is varying quite a bit....now, what's for breakfast?
1127 UTC Signal just jumped up....nice and clear! OK, coffee is kicking in too! Good morning DJ LT!
1128 UTC ID and email for reception reports by OM, and now it's time to dance
1137 UTC Ahhh...a lovely lass with a sultry voiced ID! Hmmm...looks like we'll start off with this Sunday morning with a White Chocolate Madadamia Nut CLIF Energy Bar...yum
1151 UTC Signal has dropped down to just above the noise level but clear and listenable...
1200 UTC Abruptly off
Thanks for the Sunday morning Breakfast show DJ LT! Always good to hear Boombox here!
