A shame, I would have thought Harmony would cross the Atlantic with a strong signal last night.  I checked an online SDR at Massachusetts around 2200 UTC and harmony was also peaking at S4-5 with some clarity in audio now and then.

However, "Brian" from Sunshine Radio on 7705 khz was peaking last night on th SDR at Massachusetts at an impressive S9!  Maybe amongst others, due to the higher frequency and antenna used for long skip? He switched off shortly after.
