ive been listening to this for awhile now, it definitely sounds like its coming from across the "pond" (somewhere in europe) with a good signal S7-8 and deep fades here in NY.
collins broadcast transmitter type sound quality reminiscent of a sharp audio spectrum cutoff @ 4.5Khz and 100%+ steady modulation, indicative of commercial/professional equipment - nice !

Good conditions from Europe this evening.
I've been hearing this most of the evening.  Occasional fades and fair copy.
Still getting audio at 0043
