The Mighty KBC? 9450kHz December 9
« on: December 09, 2012, 0153 UTC »
All I'm getting is a carrier audible on USB.  Is anyone else having any better luck?  Darn! it!

Carrier was very weak at 0000Z and had no audio.  Watched it on & off and it came up a hair, just enough to hear Eric give an ID, then back down into the noise.

Around 0145Z, I took another look and the carrier was barely visible.

Frownyface!  :(  I was looking forward to this quite a lot.  I had an email early this past week, Eric answering my reception report, and he said he'd try to play my song request.  I probably missed it.  :(  Darn it all. 

File this one under curses, foiled again.
