Videos I took on my phone were all too large to upload directly to the website. You may download them from Youtube or send me an email and I can try to send them to you that way if you would like them.

Not very copyable. Could here what sounded like someone reading phonetic alphabet characters but not much else between fading and noise.

very quiet, just above the noise floor for me. I can hear a man speaking but couldn't make out the language

Really enjoyed this piece. I'll have to listen to the full thing sometime.

This one sounded interesting but was coming in pretty rough under the noise for me
Expand XXV. Saxophonal Stochastic Ghost Resonances

9.6mhz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_uAQzctojE
9.1mhz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sZ-riwOzG8

I wasn't quite sure how this one was supposed to work. I tuned to both frequencies separately. 9.6mhz was more pleasing to listen to but I'm not sure if the ionospheric mixing effect you wrote about was taking place
Expand XXVI. Wolves Chasing the Ghost
Time

please see attached video of my reception. At 1:05 I switch from 9.6 to 9.1 mhz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_StaI0X0i5U

Again I am unsure if the ionospheric mixing effect is taking place. Both frequencies sounded extremely similar to me, but I am not a wolf call expert.

9.099mhz tuned to upper sideband: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btoPhD3CDVY

I do not have a CW filter on my radio so it took me a minute to get this one tuned right. I do not know morse code but I would like to learn it. This section went over the time you had posted on the website by several minutes. I actually pulled up your livestream on youtube at this point to make sure I wasn't missing the next section.

I do not currently have an SDR set up to enjoy this one fully. I did watch it live on your youtube stream and it looked really cool. I've always wondered if something like that would be possible and it's cool to see someone actually do it.

This one is very clear and copyable. Some fading (which I realize was intentional) I can hear a woman calling CQ and QSO, "where are you?" "Can you hear me?" very powerful transmission (no pun intended). Thanks for the great program.
