I copied Night of Night for most of the evening. I started out doing something I've never done. I had a couple hours of driving and I wondered if I could copy it via a Kiwi SDR receiver on my phone. I had never tried to use a Kiwi SDR receiver over internet on my phone and wondered how well it would work on such a tiny screen. It worked fine. I connected the phone audio out into my car's sound system to hear it the best. When I got home, I continued listening.
One thing I missed was the benediction. Denice Stoops used to send that every year when she was alive. It was always at 0600 UTC, I think. This year, the transmissions from KPH seemed to just end at about 0555 UTC with no benediction.
