Got them BLASTING into north Canada. True armchair copy. No ID or even voice yet, just instrumental music.
***UPDATE*** Got strong, clear OM ID as Northern Relay Service. Wall of VooDoo song "Mexican Radio". Frankly, I wish I was in Tijuana, eating barbequed iguana.

Pretty good signal here with rock/dance mix of music.
Northern Relay Service verbal ID at 0050

S5-S7, some periodic fading, but generally a very solid signal here.

Thanks for the show, NRS!
