Small carrier around 6325.2, but still early here, only 1748 local time. Better here for 48-mb after 2300 UTC.

OK, I have a carrier around 6309, but splash from the Sahara station on 6300. A little bit of music poking through from you now at 2202 UTC, thought I heard a voice say something like "Sonnet Radio AM," then back into dance music. Splash from Radio Nacional SADR on 6300 making it difficult, though.

Supertramp at 23.15
Reasonable signal,s5 peaks, but a lot of interference. Lot of static crashes too.

Still hearing a little something but the Sahara station, even though only 10-kilowatts, always puts in a good signal here. They will be off if you come back at 0400 UTC, though. That is only midnight local time, here, so I will still be up. Thanx!

Hey, Johnno, long time! (I was sick most of April with a bad, and painful, kidney infection, though). I'll be back on Iann's chat in a couple of minutes, after I refill my Bacardi and Dr. Pepper.

Hey man, you take care of yourself. Sorry to hear about the infection..
I haven't been in Ianns much recently but I noticed your absence though.

Mmmm Barcardi and Dr Pepper.....haven't tried that yet

Thanks again for trying guys. Looks like my signal got in well to Germany as I've had two reports tonight, one from nr Munchen.

Barcardi & Dr Pepper, now there's a deceptive drink!

Off to bed for an early start.

Thanks Guys, appreciate you trying.

Yeah, the Dr. Pepper is a little different from the usual Cola mixed with Rum. Didn't know if anyone in Europe knew about Dr. Pepper or not.
I was on Iann's chat a few hours ago, and Dr. Tim mentioned he heard you and got a nice reply. I'll send a report for the earlier reception, and will be listening in another half-hour or so for the next broadcast!
