The usual clear, steady signal into north Canada tonight. Gonna be a good winter for pirate radio if this level of excellence and activity keeps up!

Hearing RTN with an S9 signal but band is noisey with lots of static crashes. Lots of great music. Also heard email address and numerous IDs.

Thanks for the show!

Ah darn it!  I took the radio out of the house tonight for purposes of DXing, and I could hear a carrier on 6945 but no audio!  :(  I've been wanting to hear RTN for a while now; my bias toward Canadian (presumed Canadian, anyhow) broadcasters of all sorts is definite and almost shameless.  Signals from the north were wild - I got CBC Saskatchewan on MW tonight!  That's probably how I got RTN's carrier at all.  I've never even managed that as clearly as I did this evening.  Darn it all... 

Alas, RTN, some other night.
