Still not hearing it. Switched to Austria and it's loud and clear there.

Maybe the problem is with that German SDR ?

That would be unlikely as everything else appears to be quite normal. I think that propagation is just different today.

Charleston Radio Int. 5140 AM 2240 21 Nov 2019

I've been trying for Charleston Radio for a couple months now, with nothing more than a weak carrier. Tonight the carrier is fading up to almost audible! I had intermittent audio since 2240 UTC, but the noise is high and Shazam is unable to ID the music. I remain hopeful!
