0119 UTC, OTR is audible with S6 and the common program.
The storm noise is making the reception a little thougher this evening.

Off from work this week and was tuning around a bit and found a nice S6 signal at 0950 UTC mostly above the static this morning with YL crooning a 40ish lounge lizard tune, into an old time jazz tune. OM with some indistinct announcement, then seemingly OFF abruptly at 1001 UTC. Back up again at 1010 UTC recheck. The signal and prop is somewhat reminiscent of the old CHNX-6130 out of Halifax Nova Scotia that I used to listen to in the 1980's.
