0055 on Empire MI sdr with noisy S7-S9 signal, rock music at or above noise level,
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.

Listening via the SDR in Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S9 signal and pretty good audio marred by noise and static crashes at times ...

0107 UTC: "Jump They Say" by David Bowie (from his underrated early '90s album).
0110 UTC: WTF Radio Worldwide ID into "Sherpa" by Angine de Poitrine.
0113 UTC: "Nite Flights" by David Bowie.
0117 UTC: "Spanish Blue" by The Aqua Velvets.
0121 UTC: ID followed by "Miracle Goodnight" by David Bowie.
0125 UTC: ID again, then "Real Cool World" by David Bowie.
0130 UTC: Host talking just a little in between the previous song and the next one, "Fabienk" by Angine de Poitrine.
0133 UTC: "Outbound" by The Goldentones.

Thanks for playing lots of Bowie tunes tonight!
