Killer strong signal into north Canada tonight. I don't recognize many of the songs but there's been several clear OM voice I.D.'s. Wolverine has the only SSB signal that ever sounds any good playing music.

Hearing them in North Canada. Was going to post this as a new topic until I saw that you just beat me to it. About S-1 in S-1 noise. Can hear music fairly clearly but I haven't listened long enough yet to I.D. anything.

Heard them, too...but I don't want to reveal my general wearabouts. North America...ha ha.  (you know the deal...) Unfortunately, thanks to the Bunneh/Furreh Radio Network lunatic bunch my whereabouts, identity, and other personal info are known by pretty much everyone. If I knew then what I know now I'd be more carefull as well. But I never thought I'd have to be protected from other ops, ya know?

One SW rig to look for is the Kenwood R1000. I had one and loved it. Stupidly sold it. They are highly regarded and in fact have a near cult following. There are a few mods to improve it a bit more. I currently run a JRC NRD 525. Also a fantastic rig but a little more pricey then the Kenwood.

Welcome aboard, Erik.
For what it's worth, rivalries between special interest websites are fairly common, although the FRN is among the more extreme examples. You'll see rivalries among the highly competitive humor and social networking oriented sites as well, if you dig into the histories of reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Something Awful, YTMND, etc. Each community develops its own shibboleths and arcane practices to separate the true believers from the unhip n00bs and outsiders. There have been particularly intense rivalries between a couple of anonymous image boards. The rivalry was so intense that certain keywords were considered bannable offenses. Woe unto anyone who dared to quote a phrase or meme associated with the "enemy" site.
I've been active on a particular photography website since the 1990s and a moderator there for the past 10 years. Like any hobbyist or artistic website it too has its share of drama and rivalries. That's just the nature of creative folks who are passionate about their artistic pursuits. Within reasonable boundaries a competitive spirit and insider jargon can help form bonds that stabilize a community. Many of us participate on other photography websites and neither the members nor the administrators consider it a breach of loyalty, let alone treason. In fact crossover participation is usually mutually beneficial, and shared membership can help disseminate news and helpful techniques more efficiently.
That, and the fact that Furreys made me realize that I'm not as messed up as I once thought I was.

Lots of signal into north Canada. Music sounds great, lots of high energy dance tunes. ID's by OM but VERY bassy/muffled sound makes difficult copy.
