6940 AM Radio True North at 0410 ut June 28th
« on: June 28, 2014, 0417 UTC »
Just tuned in to Simon and Garfunkel "the Boxer" , decent signal here in Alberta, making it over the numerous static crashes.  No id heard yet....  0415 with "Galveston".  Good fidelity.

Radio True North id after 0418 time check....

I barely heard "This is Radio True North" with morse code in the background. I thought it could have been somebody else. But there is that one song by the B52s...
Then, It came from Planet Claire is now legible!

Reception is barely there due to noise and propagation.  Thanks for a nice end of the week!

SDR recording catch. First noted around 0404z, with a weak signal. Slowly improved over time. Not too bad by 0530z. Quite nice by 0630z, SIO 333.

Off at 0904z.

Thanks for the show, RTN!
