Also had this one but there was just enough noise to not quite catch the ID.

Mostly just a weak carrier here, occasional bits of unusable music :-(

0245z - finally faded up enough for good copy, just in time to hear a shoutout to me and others.  Thanks!

I heard it just a little on my Kaito 321 small portable short wave receiver.   It was hard to receive, the propagation is not good and there are static
crashes in the background on the band as well.    Sorry I did not get to hear it in stereo.
