Good signal here with interval signal, ID, and into Dr. Who music.  Carrier seems to be about 6950.33
S7 signal over S1 noise, so very good copy.

Still a big signal @ 2305, getting ready to sign, playing Goodnight Sweetheart.

Ditto here in western MA with just a little fading. Signal strength S9+20 and as good as WBCQ using 50kW from ME.

At 22:15 playing Deep Purple nah nah nah...

I'm using receiving MAC radio on a Grudging Satellit 750 with a 280ft full loop.
