I can hear it via the Northern Utah SDR, but SO much noise tonight, so I'm listening via the Peoria, Illinois, SDR ... signal's swinging from good at the peaks to barely listenable under the static at times.

0220 UTC: Old IS and then opening anthem from an old shortwave station.
0221 UTC: Female synth voice with Radio Nova ID and email address.
0222 UTC: Jazzy music.
0227 UTC: Trying a variety of SDRs in the Midwest and Upper Midwest, but the noise is hard to overcome tonight!
0228 UTC: Another old IS being played. Can't recall this one from memory. That's followed by opening of another old shortwave broadcast, but I can't hear it through the noise.
0234 UTC: Old IS and opening announcement from FEBC being played. I found a better SDR in northern Indiana, but OTHR is now getting this frequency.
0236 UTC: The old IS and shortwave stuff is cool, but the "woodpecker" sounds are getting to my ears. Thanks for the broadcast!

0204 Mostly recordings of  IS and opening s/on from a variety of classic shortwave broadcasters - mostly giving frequencies in "kilocycles" including Radio Berlin international, Finnish Broadcasting Co., etc. SSTV and off at 0243.

S5 and clear.

Thanks Radio Nova.

Not a bad signal but some noise. Loving the old radio station ids. God I'm old.

Spoke to soon, data burst are killing the signal.



Thank you for the broadcast.
