Noticed this one last night. Its not a usual visitor to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, but it has been the past couple of nights (at least that I noticed it. I have searched for it at other times and never heard it).

Heard it last night (2300-0200 UTC) and have been hearing it all day today since this morning (~1200 UTC - 2330 UTC). Its in & out all day, but for the most part was in. At an occasional maximum, it sounds like a local, but usually there was some noise & fading, but still very listenable. It has faded out now at 2345 UTC (22-Oct-2023) with other stations in the mix.

Picked it up on:
Kenwood TS-690S with Wellbrook ALA-1530S+ loop antenna
Yaesu FT-847 with a pair of Bonito Boni-Whip antennas into a phaser
Zenith Transoceanic H500 with built-in loop antenna.
