In southeast Texas, I heard them better at 2002-2208 than the North
American beam at 2330.

A lower frequency might have been better for an all-dark path at the
bottom of the sunspot cycle.

In central Pennsylvania with an indoor wire antenna, I heard nothing
during the European segment and nothing intelligible during the North
American segment. I had a high noise floor; I don't know whether it
was local or atmospheric because I haven't been doing much listening
lately.

During the last broadcast, I had a much stronger signal with a similar
setup, intelligible and at times loud for at least half the broadcast.
