2310 on Traverse City MI sdr with fair S9+20 signal, some static, easy listening jazz/pop, nice tunes,
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Just tuned in to Radio 48 on 6870 at 0240z. Strong signal in western New York. Radio 48 ID at 0240z then more electronic music. Heavy bass line, shortwave fidelity doesn't do it justice. 
Thanks for the program!
