Thanks MRI; here's hoping you didn't have to sell your soul for something such as extended battery life!

Just above the noise, but steady signal.

00:00 clear MRI ID heard

Pretty good again tonight, S9 on the 545 and tilted folded dipole.

ID at 2347 and then into more music.

Strong peak of signal at 0028, then gone in seconds.

Very weak here, right at the noise floor.

Ron Hunsicker · « **Reply #5 on:** September 28, 2013, 2356 UTC »

Since 2345, the signal is "Poor" to "Unusable" in Wyomissing.

Maybe some QRM, but it is rather noisy this evening.

00:00 AM carrier at 6974.33.
A second weaker carrier at 6974.63 causing low-freq. het on USB and AM.
Music with male and female announcers, muddy audio so not very readable.

S9+10 signal tonight into NE Ohio. Audio seems a little distorted

Hearing them with a stronger signal than usual, but qrm makes rough copy. Male and female announcer, details same as DreamWeeVA.
Clear ID and email @ 0030z
'Severina' then another ID @ 0039, then a few seconds of 'Mexican Radio'.
Then 'When You're Evil' [Shazam ID] @ 0042z
Signal is up nicely @ 0125, probably the best I have ever heard MRI
Playing X-Files theme @ 0128z

I first tuned in at 0031z and found a decent copy of MRI with banter between DJF & MsS and into music. Things turned evil around 0143z with Halloween themed dark music, spooky talk like "a darker shade of death", song "Satan drives a Volvo", and other creepy tunes. Assuming this is still coming from MRI on 6974.3am. Decent copy throughout most of the broadcast from first tuning in at 0031z. S5 on the lows, but mostly S6-S7.

Weak carrier here with no audio.

Barely heard it earlier this evening in NE Illinois. Tuned in at 0105utc and heard bits of audio, heard heavy metal, then spacey music, then "tubular bells".
