"High Hopes" at 0131z into more music. SINPO 44333 via USB ECSS. Averaging ~S8 with some higher peaks via Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical. Moderate static crashing.

Audio frequency response is fine, but modulation seems a little low.

Sounds like modulation perhaps increased when checking at 0148z.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
