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.

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! :lol:

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!
