S8 here, best I have heard MRI in a while. Sign on 2331 as per the SDR recording.
6950.3 kHz at 0020z, with a slightly weaker S6 signal.

OK, much better on the NRD 545 and tilted folded dipole. S9.

Off at 0034.

S2, S3 here. I had one good fade-up while the DJs were speaking, but otherwise, not particularly good copy tonight unfortunately.

0023 back to the music
0028 back down to the floor; music barely audible
0035 off

Thanks MRI!
