Faint signal heard, but the signal fades up slowly when tuning in. The signal is weak, but it's worth parking on 4030 and letting things settle down. Thanks for the broadcast.

ALE signal cut through the show on 4030 USB. Wish I had a decoder up and running.

My request: "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath (when Ronnie James Dio was their lead singer).  :D
I don't STRETCH the truth.

Every minute Charlie squats in the bush, his signal gets stronger."

B-side has improved drastically on the N. Utah SDR. Let me check you out on 41 meters.

You're there but very weak.I can hear the bass thumping but that's about it. Sounds like SSTV now.
