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!?

Listening via the SDR in Lodi, New York, which is receiving an S7ish signal and pretty good audio (despite this SDR's continued noise problem) ...

0021 UTC: "Hello Darlin'" by Conway Twitty.
0024 UTC: Host "Merle Haggard" with ID and saying he'll be playing some country music.
0025 UTC: "She's Got You" by Patsy Cline.
0028 UTC: "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers.
0031 UTC: "Merle" back on the mic with an ID and introducing the next song.
0032 UTC: "She Thinks I Still Care" by George Jones.
0035 UTC: "Don't You Ever Get Tired (of Hurting Me)" by Ronnie Milsap.
0037 UTC: Host back on the mic, talking about the themes of the just-played songs, giving an ID, and introducing the next song.
0038 UTC: "Don't Lead Me On" by Mel Street.
0042 UTC: "The Bottle Let Me Down" by Merle Haggard.
0045 UTC: Host back on the mic, talking about the songs, and introducing the next one, "Drinkin' Thing" by Gary Stewart.
0048 UTC: "If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me (Her Memory Will)" by George Jones.

Thanks for the classic country music, VFO Radio! Still wondering how you got the great Merle Haggard to return from the dead.

0023 on Empire MI sdr1 with fair S5-S7 signal, sad C&W songs, at 0024 Merle Haggard making announcement, song by Patsy Cline, 
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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.

0024 - Very weak in New Mexico, hear a voice in the noise. S1 to S2
0032 - Was able to make out the ending of "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers followed by the voice of an OM.  Not able to make out what was said.
0037 - Signal peaking to S4 during  "Don't You Ever Get Tired" by Ronnie Milsap.
0041 - Back in the mud.  S1 - S2 :( :(
0045 - Lots of host commentary.  Wish I could make it out. Very hard trip to the high desert mag loop this evening.
