Carrier and audio on fade ups... poor overall here at 0021 UTC.   >:(
Was wondering why Beerus was getting them much better than I was, so I bypassed my RF Systems DA-4 4 Way Amp, and voila, a better signal. Looks like my amp went bad.
Very nice signal now at 0121 with Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen...

Heard a couple of songs by the Moody Blues earlier, but didn't note the time.  Now with "Roundabout" at 0102 UTC.  Band may be going long now, S7 signal in NY, but it was much stronger and solid about 15 minutes ago.

I have the carrier on 6950.7 kHz.

Weak on the west coast at 0110Z...maybe S1 peaks. However, I'm able to make out most of the audio and did get one clear ID a bit earlier. Pink Floyd playing at the moment.
