S7+ signal heard via the Traverse City, Michigan, SDR with audio at a good level despite static and noise on the band ...

2035 UTC: "Sky Blue and Black" by Jackson Browne.
2039 UTC: "Late for the Sky" by Jackson Browne.
2045 UTC: "Before the Deluge" by Jackson Browne.
2050 UTC: OM on mic quoting a lyric from "Before the Deluge" ("When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky"), then "The Naked Ride Home" by Jackson Browne.
2057 UTC: "The Night Inside Me" by Jackson Browne.
2102 UTC: "2112 Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" by Rush. Signal now pushing S9+ at times.
2105 UTC: OM said something quick on the mic during the song.
2108 UTC: "Discovery" by Rush, then "Presentation" by Rush.
2116 UTC: "Oracle: The Dream" by Rush.
* * * *
2127 UTC: OM on the mic asking if his new setup has made any difference. This might be Thunder Chicken, as he was testing out things yesterday, too.
* * * *
2139 UTC: OM on mic talking about seeing Rush live in Wisconsin and then introducing the next song.
* * * *
2200 UTC: OM on mic thanking HFUnderground posters for the signal and audio reports and apologizing for being a bit early on the air for East Coast folks. He finished with "cluck, cluck, cluck."

Thanks for the Jackson Browne and Rush tunes this afternoon!

Hearing a somewhat weak station that sometimes manages to be loud enough for listening to the signal and enjoying the broadcast. I didn't ID any of the songs. The station just went down below the level for hearing much of anything except singing. Still, it's good to hear the broadcast and thank you for the show!
