I would think "sudo systemctl status systemd-timesyncd" would tell you if it survived a reboot. Not sure if sudo is needed.

Here's what I decoded Tuesday evening. The surprising thing is I had the receiver in Wideband FM! I had been messing around listening to local FM stations earlier. We had guests over and I quickly set up for KBC and didn't check too closely. This isn't much worse than what I get on 5950.

@popshopradio.bsky.social That funky version of "Funkytown" came through clear as a bell last night in northern Florida, USA.

Enjoyed Lill Lindfors-SΓ₯ngen's "Han SjΓΆng Var Min Egen" (Killing Me Softly With His Song in Swedish).

And Rosemary Clooney's "One Less Bell to Answer."

Great mix!!

@popshopradio.bsky.social From the 'cold mines' of northern Florida my decode from last night on 5950 kHz.
The Statler Bros. tune sounded like Kingston Trio's "Charlie and the MTA."
I remember a group of students doing "Good Lovin'" at a high school assembly that ROCKED the auditorium in 1967ish.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Four images from the broadcast on 9955 kHz as received in northern Florida, USA.
Signal here was very strong. IIRC the digital SNR was not very good.

Artifacts in the images.
My system didn't pick up the RxID to MFSK64 but did get both of the MFSK32 ones.

@swradiogram.bsky.social Looking at my FLDigi waterfall display during the MFSK32 text portion of WRMI's broadcast on 9955 kHz this morning stuck me as odd.
I would think the pattern should be symmetric centered around 1500 Hz.
The 'column' on the left edge doesn't have a match on the right.
