S5 to S6 signal and fair to good audio heard via the SDR in Dayton, Ohio, amid considerable fading and noise ...

0303 UTC: "Another Rainy Day In New York City" by Chicago.
0304 UTC: Male-spoken ID: "This is Chicago Radio." He then gave the email address of shortwavepirateqsls@gmail.com for reception reports. That was followed by "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago.
0308 UTC: "Baby, What a Big Surprise" by Chicago.
0311 UTC: "Dialogue, Pts 1 & 2" by Chicago.
0319 UTC: "Gone Long Gone" by Chicago.
0323 UTC: "Free" by Chicago.
0324 UTC: The Dayton SDR went offline, and I can't find the audio coming in elsewhere!
* * *
0329 UTC: The Dayton SDR is back, and I can just barely hear "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is?" by Chicago.

Thanks for the music, Chicago Radio!
