Dick Weed pitching t-shirts at 1804 UTC. Nice S9+10. It's like a demented QVC.

About the same signal here, S5 to S7, lots of fading.
Talk about t-shirts. I'm holding out for the RFW logo'd SDR.

Solid S8 signal here with awesome AM audio on 6872.7 KHZ at 1807 tune-in. Song "Jukebox Saturday Night" 1940's swing/big band, followed by more 1940's tunes, into CBS World War 2 recording. Very little fading and well above noise floor. Nice Mr. Weed!!!
1838 UTC Still rock solid at S8 during 4th of July WW2 radio broadcast.
1841 UTC 40's tunes...Flirty eyes...If I had a million dollars or more...coming in on a wing and a prayer.{I used to have about 150 78's about 35 years ago and a crank phono to play 'em....times have changed! Fox Trot's anyone?}
