Not much earlier, but a bit of TA here in Alberta also now. Noted weak audio on 1089, but good enough to determine it was not English, so most likely the Russian. Only other audio is on 963 where traces (presumably from Finland) are detectable through the IBOC noise, but quite a number of car

A tad of sunrise enhancement this morning, which meant a few odd visitors after 1500UT, probably would have heard more if I'd listened more, as fades up were brief and erratic. The big guns seemed a bit stronger at 1430. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at

Hi Walt, Your Eton E100 "Slider" model is capable of tuning the entire X-band, but only when 10 kHz tuning steps are selected (and not when 9 kHz steps are selected, as your model apparently has been set up to do). To switch to 10 kHz tuning steps (and enable coverage from 520-1710 kHz),
