Amanda:
It was tough, but I got some of your transmission on March 26 Central time. I was using a tuned straight wire, about 70 feet on a Kenwood R-5000, all on AM from Minneapolis (within the city, so the lower bands are problematic). Lots of noise. A better antenna and less power line buzz would have helped.
2:00 UTC Nothing on 3.2Mhz
2:35 UTC Numbers on 4.4Mhz, female voice, a lot of static and only a few numbers were clear at a time.
2:39 UTC stopped shortly
2:40 UTC on 4.4 Mhz phonetic letter “foxtrot, romeo, xray” pnly about 3 could be heard clearly before the signal faded.
2:46 UTC 4.4 Mhz lost signal
2:48 UTC 6.9 mhz woman’s voice in narration (barely discernable) still going to 2:54 UTC when voice stopped and signal like a fax transmission continued.
2:57 UTC 3.2mhz sounded like morse and stopped by 3 UTC.
Love the project and chasing your signals reminded me of the more glorious days of shortwave (even the numbers). Feel free to post.
