First report was with my IC-718 and 135' OCF facing E/W. Just checked my RSP2 SDR with MLA-30 pointing N/S. Still a great signal. Equal to the other setup. Thanks for the entertainment!

This reminds me of the 'Echoes' program I sometimes listen to on my local NPR station. Very chill. Wish I was in a more altered state to better enjoy. Those days are over though.... I think
