A typically CRUSHING RTN signal into Northern Canada. Fantastic audio, great mix of tunes. Always a pleasure to hear RTN!!!

SDR recording catch. Noted on the waterfall, and occasional bits of audio can be heard, but the static levels are just too high. Best signals were around 0700 UTC, but still tough then. QRT at 0706 UTC.

FWIW, RTN seems to come in best here quite late, around 0700 or so.

Barely audible here in upstate NY.  SIO=111-222.  Noisy band working against True North tonight.  Off at 0705.
