Listening via the Northern Utah SDR, which has an S5-S7 signal and OK, somewhat fuzzy audio; it's just barely audible directly out here near Seattle ...

0216 UTC: "Used to Be" by Red Dirt Rangers.
0219 UTC: "Route 66" by The Rolling Stones.
0221 UTC: "T for Texas (live in 1974)" by Waylon Jennings.

0228 UTC: "Lost Highway" by Hank Williams.
0231 UTC: "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.
0235 UTC: "Loser's Blues" by Brother Dege.
0239 UTC: "Theme from 'Route 66'" by Route 66 Orchestra.
0241 UTC: I heard the male host give an ID, the email address ([email protected], think), and wish listeners a good night. He was down in the noise somewhat.
0242 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the music on this Sunday night!

Seems that transmission actually started at 0122 with the Route 66 theme. Went to mush after about 5 minutes
