SDR recording catch. Started to fade in around 1014, very weak at first with just a carrier and some bits of audio.
The signal then came up out of the noise floor at 1017, and was S9 at 1018. Then mostly S8 to S9.
BBC ID by YL at 1029, off at 1031.

Recorder Catch on 6850 AM

I have just occasional mumbling around the noise floor, and no positive ID to speak of.
