Got them loud and clear here in Iowa, emphasis on the loud part. They were S9 in the mobile at 5 after the hour with a French national anthem interval signal. Some static, plus some strange hetrodyne underneath the signal that becomes audible on the deeper fades. All in all though, still an outstanding signal. SIO 444

Normally RC is pretty strong down this way, tonight it is even with the noise floor. I can tell there is music, but not enough to ID anything 2325

Weak and mostly "unusable" in Wyomissing.  QRM gone, but still very noisy.

Heard on my just arrived Tecsun PL660 . I took it for a spin...dog walk actually & this was the first station I tuned in. Mostly weak & barely unreadable until about 1:00z when it popped out of the considerable noise for some decent copy during the last 20 minutes. Great show. Thanks
