Have them here at an S8. Originally picked them up in the mobile. Heard Joltin Joe DiMaggio and what I think was the "Giants win the pennant" call, followed by a song about Stan Musial (I think). SIO 433

SDR recorder catch. Good signal into Missouri, S8 & higher on peaks.I also heard this show on my ATS 909x while on a dog walk. The signal on the portable never actually registered on the odd little S meter but it was pretty well audible. Oddly, it seemed to peak very well as I walked near streetlights. Usually they QRM a weak signal to the point that I can't be heard at all. It could just be a coincidence although it happened 4 times.

SDR catch.  Programming started at 0145 but another station signed on a few seconds later, about a kHz lower in frequency. The other station went off at 0209.
