Found this at 0133 - I was expecting this at 4190 or 4080. Ah well. Signal is not very strong at all, unfortunately.
0157 Picking up some strength, hopefully. Song with YL singer
0158 Redhat now recognizable on the mic
0200 back below the noise
0201 came back up enough for me to hear X-FM Shortwave ID

[bandarr3000]

0134 - Can hear a little bit of music just above the noise, when it fades in.

Jba to fadeups @ 0136.

[Andrew Yoder]

Weak. The recent 48m broadcasts have been much better here

[Josh]

Something went pop and the sig dropped back to nil 0144Z.

Catching the X on 4185 at 0135 with AM Radio playing, then into chat about signal being not as strong due to antenna problems along with mentioning listeners posting on the HF Underground. Signal is about a S6 mixed in with the noise, mention email address at 0143. Tough copy here RH. Thanks for for the test this evening.

I am just getting around to listening to the SDR recording now.  I used the 950 ft LoG antenna which was apparently not a great choice for 4185 kHz, SIO 111/222 most of the time.
