Poor to fair signal heard amid lots of noise directly here near Seattle; I'm also hearing an S5 to S7 signal and fair to good audio via the Northern Utah SDR ...

0121 UTC: "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vi-Da" by Iron Butterfly.
0123 UTC: "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix.
0127 UTC: Quick male-spoken ID for Subterranean Radio, then "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by Vanilla Fudge.
0131 UTC: "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf.
0136 UTC: Old Brylcreem radio ad, then "Hurdy Gurdy Man" by Donovan.
0140 UTC: "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" by Kenny Rogers & The First Edition.
0143 UTC: ID again, then "Going Up the Country" by Canned Heat.
0146 UTC: "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds.
0150 UTC: Looney Tunes' "That's All Folks" closing song, then off just as another noise cloud hit the frequency.

Good to hear you twice today, Subterranean Radio!
