Nothing here until around 1820 or so, John. Very, very weak at the moment.

Poor conditions this year as opposed to last when the entire time on the air was
heard here.

1923 governors speech and now beamed to Japan. signal has improved to
S9
11092.5 khz for those who are trying to get it.
I'm sure reception will improve to N. America later

Have fun and good listening

No matter how well it comes in, it's still pretty cool knowing that DX'ers around the
globe are all tuning in.

Who can miss a tune by Abba?

Made a big jump here when switched from Japan to Europe at 2015!

This is my first time listening for this station. I am currently
taping it also. I am in the state of Oregon so likely as far as
possible away from the signal as the majority of listeners....that is
unless they live in Hawaii or Japan. Signal is 7 out of 10. I am
listening on a Sony ICF-2010 with just the "reel" antenna supplied
with radio. I am able to make everything out but there is quite a bit
of static and audio problems likely caused by the signal having to
travel so far to get to my radio.

I have only made out 2 songs so far, Hot Chocolate "You Sexy Thing"
and Carole King "Far Away". They seem to be playing a lot of adult
contemporary or R&B type stuff. No rock

Anyway it is quite exciting being able to finally listen to them after
being a SWL for over 10 years. Can't wait till next year. Maybe I
will have a good outdoor antenna by then!



CTV

Anyone post any recordings? I was unavailable for the actual broadcast : {
