0145 Audio just above my noise floor (S5).
All reports given are direct from my station in NYC.
Main toys are a Flex 3000 SDR, Icom 756 Pro II and other assorted odds & ends. They may be older, but work very well for me.
100 ft random wire (all my city lot allows)

Fair into Free Union VA SDR, overmodulated, "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, I would love to know how they got on the air on the 49 meter band since I assume most of the 6900+ pirates are using ham equipment. Conversation is like 80m AM :) After some earlier variations they're now dead-on 6170 (0209 UTC 13 JUL) and I think the audio has improved, both music and speech....not sure who is talking to who. 0218 Psycho Radio which it turns out is a song.

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

I'm hearing an S7ish signal via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR. It's not too bad, though fading is taking a toll at times ...

0156 UTC: OM host with a mic check, says he's turning on the A/C, and a bit more chatting. Mentioning he's confused why WBCQ's not on 6160 kHz.
0205 UTC: "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. This signal's really struggling with the noise now.
0209 UTC: Host back on the mic chatting after taking a phone call.
