Steady carrier on 6945 since 0430z but no audio via Palstar.  Switched to Sony 2010 with AM sync lock and indoor ceiling antenna - actually picking up a little less household RFI and music occasionally poking through.  A couple of IDs jussst barely audible here.

Have him playing Spanish pop, first song by Salena, as of this post.  Good signal, with washes of noise, a lot cleaner than last time. :)

I wasn't able to log it in South-Eastern Europe, as predictable, but it seems it was a great show.

SDR recording catch, pretty tough copy under the static at sign on, although, as usual for RTN, the signal improved as time went on.

Sony ICF 7600 D
At first indoors with Whip antenna and later out side with portable long wire

6945 AM
Radio True North – signal not as strong as last night but static levels are also lower.
Regardless good audio all night with some slow fades to weak signal then alwayss back again.
Tuned in at:
5:30 UT to UNID tune
5:39 UT wldxbugaria ad then recorded RTN ID and e-mail.
Listed to show all night to 7:07 UT off air?
Excellent program.
Tonight Mostly recorded ID's and wldx Ad's

I kept a detailed log tonight but some of the highlights for me were:

6:30 Rolling Stones – What's my name
6:33 Doors -  Light my fire
7:03 UT Mamas & Papas California dreaming
I sent in signal report to RTN at ~ 5:50 UT
7:18 UT Live “voice over” shout out to Rockpicker “Thanks for tuning in! “
7:20 UT  Rolling Stone – Gimme shelter
7:29 UT Hendrix – All along the watchtower
7:34 UT Kingsmen - Loui  Loui
7:59 UT Patsy Cline – Crazy
8:00 UT  RTN ID & “Maintains standards of good taste”
8:02 UT last song – Play what the people want !

I say Amen to both

8:07 UT RTN ID – Off Air.
