I've been seeing a carrier off & on on my sdr since 2:30 utc. I couldn't hear any audio until I turned on my portable ATS909x & was able to hear in USB  & AM but still very close to the noise but way better on the portable than on the fancy, expensive radios with big 'ol antennas...what the hell.

SDR recording catch. The carrier was first noted at 0203z.
Carrier off at 0535z
Some faint traces of audio were occasionally heard, such as around 0500z, but that was about it.

Although I had "officially" started overnite recording, I checked the SDR from time to time.  The carrier was noted here, but I was able to get very little audio in the storm crashes.
