He's been on for 10 or 15 minutes now playing music. Band condx have changed now and he's only about an S1. Hoping it'll improve after sunset

Very light into NE Ohio, right in the noise at about s-9.  Can hear some verbiage, though.

Just moved to 6945 at 0245 UTC. Was playing Bjork. Now into an old 80's tune. Good S8 signal.

9/16/12, 6945 AM: Asia "Heat of the Moment", RTN ID and shout-out to listener, Steve Winwood "Valerie", "One Night in Bangkok" Murray Head (with shout-out to Jerry during song).

Just a carrier here at home on the indoor antenna, good via southwestern US web tuner.

0640z: Tried outdoors with portable, just barely audible, heard a bit of Greg Kihn Band "Our Love's In Jeopardy"

SDR recording, carrier noted at 0209z with RTN sign on music. About S6 or so under the noise. Noted the switch to 6945 at about 0245z, reception was a little better on 6945.
