Radio True North, 6950 AM 0415 UTC, July 18, 2015
« on: July 18, 2015, 0419 UTC »
Mostly in the noise at my west coast location but came up out of the noise for a few minutes to S8. Back in the noise again. Might improve once the sun sets.
0420 UTC, sigs up above the noise...got a shoutout, thanks RTN
0424 UTC, signal came up to S9+10db
0425 UTC, Alberta Bound by Gordon Lightfoot...signal up and down like a yo-yo...

Big storms rolling through the upper Midwest, but RTN is just above the crashing most of the time. I suspect it will get better as the night progresses. Great music as usual.

Suspected that it might have been RTN.   Usually they are very strong into Victoria, BC  but tonight, a poor to fair signal only with lots of noise. :'(

Tough copy here, carrier from 0400, some audio now and then, but not much.
