Good choice of frequency, Rooster. There's no use in banging heads with propagation on 41 meters when it doesn't want to play.

That blonde in the shredded jeans reminds me of a lot of ex-girlfriends. That's the kind that cause fights. Don't go off until I get back from taking a leak.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

Big signal on the Kiwi w/ the 900 ft. loop on Smolinski's Radio Ranch. A good 10 over. I heard most of "Locomotive Breath" and the outro I.D.

I don't know how they mic'd Ian and that flute live? I saw them several times at their peak and the guy danced all over the stage while playing it. I'm certain he was as stoned as most of the audience.

Tuned in at 0032 utc on Barrington Hills IL sdr with fair S7 to S9 signal and some 60hz powerline buzz, slow pop tune "free falling", songs are playing at unsteady speed like an old cassette player, at 0042 SSTV/FAX, thanks for the tunes.

Old cassettes can cause the same sound. Some of my "Radio Al Fansome" shows sound like Charlie Brown's teacher after a couple of decades in the box. A Tom Petty cassette from the 80's is going to have a lot of stretch in it.
