If anyone is interested in radio observation, I have turned my feed
on and will leave it on for the next day or two.

This is an audio feed from a receiver in the north suburbs of Detroit
Michigan (USA) tuned to 55.249 MHz plus a spectrogram of the received
audio. I have left the spetrogram scroll rate relatively slow (5
seconds per division) to give a better picture of the average rate.
