Mostly in the noise here, but heard YL ID @ 0143z.  Following by a couple more ID's and email @ 0144z followed by what sounded like 'America'.

SDR recording catch. 0102 sign on. S8 signal, but the modulation seemed low, and there was considerable static from nearby t-storms.
Had to pull the plug at 0123 due to the storms.
