Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] VOA 1530 Sao Tome logged in IL tonight

Nice!  Gives me goose bumps to hear a distant âYankee Doodleâ like that!

Heard here in DC, but not often.  This from a few years ago at 0300 s/on:

A little better near Fleeton, VA this past January:

And SCARY good from Lubec, Maine last November:

None of those are quite like hearing it from the midwest though!
