0335 UTC "Brown Sugar"-Rolling Stones (Signal is just above the noise floor with S5 peaks and strong flutter fading)
0339 UTC Rock tune I can't ID...
0345 UTC "Mama I'm Coming Home"-Ozzy
0353 UTC Threshold music deep in the noise now (I have a very weak carrier here...in AM now?)
0400 UTC Signal faded up with "Simple Kind of Man"-Lynyrd Skynyrd
0402 UTC OM saying "Radio Radio Radio"...hard to make out the rest, followed by unid song and deep fade back into the noise
0406 UTC No sign of a carrier...presumed OFF

Thanks for the late night show whoever...didn't expect to hear anything with this lousy propagation!

Thanks for the patience listening in this mess, peeps. Bands are *awful*. I'm surprised it got anywhere with the solar flare.

I was only doing about 45w at +120%, about 10w dead carrier, while I was bringing the CRL processing back online. I finally just plain gave up on the Optimod HF I had... I've spent literally months inside that thing replacing caps and stuff, but the 35+ years it spent in a musty old barn was just too much for it. Doesn't help that it was a prototype unit with hand-etched boards and many little "secret" potted circuits that even Orban/CRL couldn't describe!

It was actually a 9100 with major modifications and didn't have the "memory" circuits the retail 9105 units had. Frankly, the CRL units sound *way* better IMO. I gave the thing to my "radio museum curator" buddy.

Got more music on 6930, thinking it might still be WWBR but the signal is much weaker, so maybe not? Ill try to ID a song. S7
