I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise.

Freeform radio!  I mean I sort of have a general theme I go with, but...I don't hold myself to it!  I grew up on college radio!

Don't know if it is Sternradio, but an AM carrier is still being heard on 6960 in the Great Plains.

Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

Funny thing.  I passed out drunk at the console.  The dead carrier was the DJ asleep at the wheel.

S9 into the wilds of Metro DC tonight, but a lot of filter-challenging QRN. Nonetheless, DC appreciates the earlier Shudder to Think inclusion.

Signal's gone to absolute shnizz as Alien Sex Fiend's "I Walk the Line" wound down... QRN and new QRM way up.

Newly acquired ICOM 7300 MK2, newer-still Malahit DSP2, and an old workhorse Magnavox (Philips) D2999 that I can't quit. Receive-only with a new outdoor K-480WLA, backed up by an indoor MLA30+.  ... I'll continue to sort the rest as I go -- planning my own external antenna array.
