S7-S8 here with a noise level that's nearly as high. Signal making it through the hyper cold here in Chicago. 34342. Occasional ute in there too.

Hearing the same big band tunes as EE. Heard a reference to CBS Radio by male announcer.
0037z - Bill Slokum Jr. in Knoxville, TN reporting.

Very weak signal here. Can only really copy it when I switch to USB mode. Can barley copy audio in AM.

But nonetheless thanks for the show whoever's broadcasting!
