Despite using OTR as my primary propagation indicator, I seldom listen to their programming ... but when there is so little traffic on 43m, and their signal is coming in so unusually strong, they get my undivided attention!

Returning a Sinpo of 31343 tonight on this side of the "pond"

Thanks for (nearly always) being there, Guys ... even if most nights you're just a carrier spike on the display.

Caught Amphetamine Radio just before CD at 00:31z with US National Anthem (and tone) Its a shame that I missed the show prior to this because AR was a much better signal than the last time I logged em
Sinpo 33433 ... Thank you, AR.

Condx seem up again over the past two nights but this is the only traffic heard on the band.

This station - fragments only of a stand up routine ... the odd word making it through, mainly the f-word, something about reading the riot act at 01:22z

Best sinpo 12331
 
Thank you

Been listening for the past 2 hours to mainly noise, but occasional fragments of unrecognisable songs.

Finally a clear "XLR8" ident at 03:26z and so XLR8 can go in the logbook. Thank you for the long show tonight guys - if it hadn't been quite as long, I never would have got you in the logbook!

After too many nights of hearing nothing from NA at this QTH ... finally RFW ... not banging in by any means ... in fact a bit of a struggle, but well worth it!

Sinpo 11321 Thank you, Comrades.

Thanks, DW, for explaining to Stavin that the ♂ symbol means that I am not the same gender as his former girlfriend

Condx really good tonight, but not much traffic on 43m.

Huge QRM on 6930 with me, hence this sinpo 21452

Interesting programming, starting with the Native Indian chanting. Thank you.
