poor with static in NE IL, song "roam if you want to", does R F Whatever have an email address? (edit) Thanks DimBulb for their email address which is dickweeddj@gmail.com (2nd edit) I just emailed him and it hasn't bounced back yet. (3rd edit) there are 2 station audible on 6925 now, at about equal audio level. One is playing patriotic music with reduced bandwidth (SSB?) and there is rock/pop from R F Whatever.

On my SDR display, it looks like somebody is underneath them at 6927 USB, but I can't make out the programming.  Anybody else?

Im hearing them but the audio is too low to get a good ID - recognized Bob Marley 'Jammin' though.

That's what I said in reply #5, and William Hassig edited #4 to say it too.  It shows up very well on the display because it's at 6927 USB, but the upper sideband of RFW is too strong for me to get clear audio.
