I was listening via Upper Midwest SDRs, but the noise up there was getting in the way of listening. Now I have an S5 signal with pretty good audio, though still moderate background noise levels, via the Fayette County, Tennessee SDR ...


0149 UTC: "Hotel California (SRV Version)" by Laszlo Buring.
0158 UTC: There's been a blazing instrumental blues song playing the past couple minutes, but Shazam won't give me a title for it.
0204 UTC: I think I can hear Radio Free Spirit's British-accented host amid rock music.
0207 UTC: "Rooster" by Alice in Chains.
