2110 quick ID, very weak, music, 2119 trace
2219 booming in, retro song, 2220 full ID, orchestra and singer in E, 2222 some fading
2224 talking (30's in USA movies and radio), 2225 quite retro way to sing, maybe from before 78rpm?, 2228 skit, 2229 funny singer, 2233 skit with Topolino in It, 2236 ID, roaring 20's,

Ray, I have tried to hear Charleston Radio almost every day here since you started posting and I have not even been lucky enough to hear a carrier. I will continue to monitor and maybe some day I will get lucky! I do not know of anyone on this side of the pond who has logged them directly.

Has anyone every received a QSL from Charleston Radio?

Hi Skipmuck, Tonight, I am able to detect a weak carrier of Charleston Radio 5140 khz on a few online Kiwi SDR receivers in Main, New Jersey, North Carolina, along the east coast of the US, but no audio.

Thanks Ether Hacker!  :) I guess there may be hope for us East Coasters here in the US! I will keep checking and hopefully I can hear some audio some day when propagation is favorable!

Is Charleston still on? I am getting a very weak carrier as of 0039 UTC! Intermittent, but clearly a carrier! Hey...it's a start!  :)
