S7 on an S6 noise floor with peskies about. Good solid carrier with bits of audio popping out now and then. Seems to be slowly improving.

Great strong S-7 signal with fast QSB. Tuned into "Don't You Want Me', then long pause then OM ann into RTN ID and talk about interference from peskies.
Always great to hear an old friend! Happy New Year! With the apparrent demise of Northern Relay Service you're about all I have left to listen to.
