Just signed onto 1720 KHz, strong S7-S9 signal.

Many thanks to the Big Q for the kind "shout-out" over the air and audio QSL!!  You made my night!

Got them around 0520Z. About S6 or so with the loop going more or less E-W. It was a little above the noise and was able to make out music. Didn't hear an ID (but didn't listen long).

First time hearing someone on 1720.

Moved down to 1710 at 0523 UTC, tougher copy now.

EDIT: Has risen to fairly steady S7-S8 for a comfortable copy.  Nice selection of older Christmas music mixed in with oldies.

Hearing the Q well at my location. Also hearing it on Perseus receivers in Mass, Minn, NJ, Rochester NY and Quebec. Some strong others barely audible. Big signal tonight.

Congrats on the shout-out from the Big Q to Kilo ;D Also I really got a chuckle out of my voice over being used in this jingle. It was pulled from one of my older YT vids of this station at 2:18 in the vid. Thanks Big Q ;D 8)
