Signal slowly fading. Down to S5-S7 at 0003 UTC (7/13) with audio getting harder to pull out of the static.

S7 signal in NE Ohio at 0105 UTC with music and frequent ID's. Audio a little low and hard to copy at times, but getting better the later it gets. Thanks for the show.

SDR catch, 2337 carrier sign on, audio started at 2340. S7 signal, modulation seemed a little low?
