hear bits of audio under noise in am mode, detect weak carrier in ssb mode, very poor to non existent in NE Illinois.

heard weak carrier on portable while dog walking. Visible carrier on SDR at home but not much audio...pretty noisy tonight.

 at 6:15z Recheck on Satellit 750 using built in whip & RTN is audible pretty steady. On the SDR with a 30 meter horizontal L I can only get the carrier with almost no audio. What the hell, man?
