Hearing RML at s7 at 0242 UTC.  Just a little splatter from Grizzly Bear Shortwave above.  Nice to hear you and report you for once.

He mentioned being busted, broken, no power.  Bummer, been there done that, wallowing around out at sea without propulsion for about 12 hours one time.

Signal is, as normal, very good in here tonight, S8 or a little more.

We're getting very nice & rich audio here despite some static crashes (& despite the momentary equipment glitches and resultant drop-outs) without any appreciable fading!  Solid S = 9 + with the S = 6-7 noise floor! Mostly 1980's music that I am unfamiliar with (no surprise here, I never listened to mainstream music anyhow) and live announcer, yahoo.com email addy, some shoutouts, etc.  Thanks for the program, sorry that the S.S. Red Mercury is buzz-ted, but ya sound great down here near Stockton Calif.!

0342Z, just tuning in. Playing Tool - Swamp Song. Very loud tonight at an easy S9.

SINPO 43343. Lots of atmospherics here tonight, along with some interference, though still a decent copy.

Good music. Thanks for the broadcast.
