S7 to S8 signal here, I've got the SDR recorder running, so I'll have something to listen to tomorrow morning.

On until 0620z. Pretty good for most of the time, except QRM from TCS from 0117-0306.

Hard a weak signal at 0110U, and could hear an old time routine and a song. Too tough to dig out more or an ID.
All logs made from my own SDRs, boatanchors, and antennas
QTH: vicinity of Auburn, Alabama

0052 - Signal fading up at times to S9 listenable,and then down to a prolonged fade


Will still try to get a positive ID, but till then, I'll just call this "The Old Time Radio Show".
