Radio True North, 6945 kHz AM, 8/18/2013,

music at 0453 UTC.

Caught a clear ID around 0450, seemed to come in much better than the music.

Weak signal in Lansing, MI, but improved some the last few minutes.
QRM from dashing carrier.

0455- More than a feeling/Boston

SINPO=23332

Listening for awhile outdoors with Sony 2010 in AM sync, rough conditions due to local RFI but occasionally able to copy RTN IDs and some music.  Good via Western US remote tuners.  0653z - "Wrap It Up" Fab T-birds.

SDR recording catch. 0329 sign on.

ID at 0947 then off at 0948.

The signal was actually better here at the beginning of the show, vs the end, opposite of how it usually is.

Had good copy in Northern Canada. I also found the signal stronger at the beginning then at the end. Always terrific to hear an old friend!
