S5-S7 signal via the Lodi, New York, SDR with very good audio and -- considering how noisy it is on the band tonight -- relatively low noise levels ...

0048 UTC: "Asleep in the Desert (Instrumental)" by ZZ Top.
0051 UTC: British-accented host talking about the just-played song, then "Let 'Em In" by Wings.
0056 UTC: "Telephone Line (Alternate Vocal)" by Electric Light Orchestra; sounded like the phone ringing bit from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" first.
0102 UTC: "Speak to Me/Breathe (Breathe in the Air)" by Pink Floyd.
0107 UTC: VFO host on the mic, suggesting listeners use beer or magic mushrooms to relax while listening, followed by "Long Time Gone" by Crosby, Stills & Nash.
0112 UTC: ID into "Soulshine" by The Allman Brothers Band. The signal's gained some and is now pushing S9 at times.
0118 UTC: Host talking again, giving ID and email, and then "Amie" by Pure Prairie League.

Thanks for the music tonight, VFO Radio!
