Excellent signal, opened up to kHz on the R-390A, where I'm recording it. Should be a lot better after the washer & dishwashers finish their cycles. Caught the very end of Yes "Roundabout"

Tuned in at 1918 and noise and prop made reception a little ragged.  Strength improved since 1924 and no it sounds pretty good.
30 dB above the noise.
