Same here in Chicago around 0300.  I'm hearing bluesy piano right now, but audio still at a premium here.

RTN on 6950 AM 5 May 2013 w/Radio Ronin Relay earlier, now live RTN program w/shouts out etc.

Finally coming in halfway decent here onthe Left Coast (sorta):

0535 "Hot Rod Lincoln" Commader Cody
0540 "Start Me Up"  or some such modern tune by the Rolling Stones
0544 "I Want You To Want Me" by Rockford's Finest (aka Cheap Trick)
0546 "I Wanna Get Physical" by Madonna I think
0550  Canned Cool AM ID and then "Come On Irene" or some such 1980's bubblegum


Been listening for the last ninety minutes but sigs up & down, pretty solid S = 5 or 6 and noise S = 4 on
TS-850 earlier and on R-390A now (jeez, these Trimm Dependable cans from Libertyville are sure pinching the audio and my head)

Thanks for the show, still sounds good  despite some deep fades here in the California flatlands.

Noted here on the SDR recording from 0214z with an extremely faint carrier only.

SDR recording showed a carrier for about 4 hours but never could hear any audio. Last weekend I was able to hear RTN on my ATS909x with an indoor 10 foot inverted V but not on the R75 or SDR-IQ. I must have a null in his direction or something.
