Just got a clear ID here in eastern Mo. at 07:49.
Usually I can detect the carrier, but with no clear audio.
I wonder if the snow on the ground is helping them out.
At 07:52 they are moving the meter to an S-1.

Still going strong at 0930Z.  A Big Q ID at 0931, then into more music.  :)  Listening in USB, then AM, trying to avoid loud 1700 splatter.  SIO 333 at peaks, iffy otherwise.  At least I heard them!

SDR recording catch, sign on at 0606 UTC mid-song with oldies and S7-S8 signal and into Casey Kasem "Top 40 greatest disappearing acts".  Great AM audio as usual.  Thanks Big Q!
