Weak signal and poor to fair audio staying mostly above the noise heard via the KFS SDR in the Bay Area of California ...

0037 UTC: "Alabama Blues" by J.B. Lenoir.
0039 UTC: Hearing a male talking, but it's basically unreadable through the noise.
0041 UTC: "Baby What You Want Me to Do" by Jimmy Reed.
0044 UTC: "Hoodoo Stew" by Selwyn Birchwood (Subterranean Radio played this one a few days ago).
0048 UTC: Guy talking again, but it's down in the noise, followed by a vintage radio ad.
0049 UTC: "I Can't Quit You Baby" by Otis Rush. This broadcast's repeating the same songs heard a few days ago, so I'm IDing this as Subterranean Radio, which also used this frequency earlier this week.
0052 UTC: "Midnight Hour" by Chicken Shack.
0055 UTC: "The Blues Keep Me Holding On" by Savoy Brown Blues Band.
0059 UTC: Vintage ad again?
0100 UTC: Blues music again, but the noise is swallowing the audio enough that even my Shazam app can't ID the songs anymore.

Good to hear you again, Subterranean!
