Listening via the SDR in Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S7 to S9 signal with fading and, at times, relatively high levels of noise ...

1724 UTC: "Across the Borderline" by Ry Cooder.
1729 UTC: The usual host with WTPK ID and shout-outs to HFU listeners. He also mentioned his signal's null near Shrewsbury. Thanks for the tuning advice!
1731 UTC: "Drume Negrita" by Ry Cooder & Manuel Galban.

Now listening via the SDR in Cape May County, New Jersey, which is receiving a solid S5 to S7 signal with good audio and less fading; still some hiss on the band today ...

1732 UTC: Host talking about how far his signal can extend at times, then back to the previous tune.
1734 UTC: "Mama, Don't Treat Your Daughter Mean" by Ry Cooder (quite a ruckus of an ending for that song!).
1741 UTC: "Taxes on the Farmer Feeds Us All" by Ry Cooder. The host broke in early during the song for a few more HFU shout-outs.
1745 UTC: "Cherry Ball Blues" by Ry Cooder.
1749 UTC: "Nothing Out There" by Ry Cooder.

Thanks for the blues music during my Friday morning work!
