0135 UTC  "Rock This Town" ~ Stray Cats
Into Hendrix at 0138-- don't need Shazam to recognize that voice,
"Catfish Blues"

Noisy, signal stronger than audio, S-8 to S-9 peaks on Maryland big loop kiwi.
Wonderful fade-up of audio at 0154-- "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" by Radiohead.

Ended with an SSTV and off shortly thereafter.

Thanks for listening to the CATS AND DOGS show tonight! Storms rolling across the USA sure helped the static crashes again.

Back to the horizontal dipole tonight, still need to trim it a few more inches. Reached Utah and Bermuda SDRs!! Just above the noise floor for each...  ;D
