Good reception in Italy. SINPO 34333. Big Band music from 1930s and 1940s. Frequency is 5139.99 KHz.

2001 UTC - computerized ID in English and into more music.
2005 UTC - music with German vocalist and bird chirps in background.
2007 UTC - "A barrel of fun starring Charley Ruggles". Bits of the US TV program "Gunsmoke" and other random things.
2016 UTC - "There's more music on the big sound of Charleston."
2019 UTC - Computerized ID, "Charleston Radio International . We're transmitting on (faded down) kilocycles." Signal is improving.
2024 UTC - IDs and little bits of music and US commercial adverts from the 1940s. Signal is great right now. SINPO 55444. I suspect that this is NVIS propagation given the foF2 and the signal quality right now.
2042 UTC - Music has been continuing. When I hear the announcer say "Hier ist de ( ? )sender Berlin. Hier ist de ( ? )sender Berlin." the audio gets cut off for 30 sec then a new song resumes with German female vocalist.
2111 UTC - Computerized ID in English.
2125 UTC - German vocal music. Signal is still good but starting to experience much more fading now that the foF2 is falling in central Europe.
2139 UTC - Signal is nearly gone. SINPO 14411. foF2 is < 4.7 MHz in central Europe.
