MRHS Mini Night of Nights in Progress

KSM has again this year stayed on the air for its "Mini Night of Nights," in which it broadcasts various special things, and takes commercial traffic from any vessel with the equipment and inclination to come up and pass it.

Big signal in L.A., as always.  Report at 0003Z:
