Weak to fair signal via North Carolina SDR at 2222 UTC tune in, occasionally fading up to decent level...high noise on band.

Can just detect a carrier here @ 2249Z, tstorm activity as well as a random s9 streetlight ballast singing the song of its people covering up any chance at audio recovery. The Pro2 nb does a great job but not a miracle.
