LRA36 RN Arcangel, 15476 kHz USB, 18 FEB 2023, 2230 UTC
« on: February 18, 2023, 2232 UTC »
Very, VERY faint music peaking up at the noise level occasionally.
2237 haven't heard anything for about five minutes now. Glad for the little bit that I got.

I started listening at 2000 and had absolutely nothing here in Michigan.  I checked back an hour later and had a very faint USB signal just slightly below the nominal frequency.  It sounds better on 15475.950.   The signal has been getting gradually stronger and it's now 2349 UTC and it's quite listenable here with nice music, occasional IDs and announcements.

Awesome.

2255 Trying to copy again, there may be something but it's possibly just wishful thinking. Unlike earlier, when I definitely had audio.

2310 hearing it again for real, just a bit stronger than it was the first time. Thanks for the tip about the fine tuning.
2314 faint OM voice
2331 music, so definitely not off the air. Looks like 15475.96 is the best frequency for me
2339 now it seems to be QRT. Nothing heard for a minute.

2358 seems to be back. Thanks to myteaquinn who posted that on the HFU discord.

Heard here, also on 15.475.96 USB in Andover, MA, since 0012, with mostly rock music and occasional announcements by male announcer. Heard mention of "Antartica" at 0015. Fair signal, no interfrence, quite noisy, and steady audio, but audibility is impacted by the noise level.
0032 _ Talk by OM.

I've got a whole load of reception notes taken between about 22:40 and 23:38 UTC, when I thought it went off the air. It was never very readable here north of Seattle, but I could hear both music and sometimes talking peaking about every two minutes. It was especially strong around 2330 UTC. Very cool to hear LRA36 directly for once!

You guy's should check out Ancestry.com. I suspect all of you have a Fansome in your family tree. This was the big day of You Know Who's year after Radio St. Helena called it quits. Read "Holy Blood, Holy Knobs" to find out more, a FANCO publication.

We're all related ultimately, so we all have a little Fansome in us, even you.
