Listening via the SDR in Presque Isle, Wisconsin, which is receiving an S7 to S9 signal and fair audio amid lots of noise ...

0056 UTC: "Wonderlust King" by Gogol Bordello.
0059 UTC: Male-spoken IDs and loon call, then a host talking a bit about the previous song.
0100 UTC: "Let's Get Radical" by Gogol Bordello.
0104 UTC: "Punk Rock Parranda" by Gogol Bordello.
0108 UTC: Loon calls, ID and mention of the Great Lakes. There was more talking that I couldn't hear through the noise.
0109 UTC: "Sally" by Gogol Bordello. I've now switched to listening via the SDR in Lodi, New York, which has an S3-S5 signal but slightly stronger audio than the Wisconsin SDR.
0112 UTC: More loon calls into "Start Wearing Purple" by Gogol Bordello.
0115 UTC: Loon calls again, another ID down in the noise, and the host mentioned again the featured musician.
0116 UTC: "Immigrant Punk" by Gogol Bordello.
0119 UTC: Loon calls, then female-voiced announcer with ID, and off.

Thanks for the music tonight! Sorry I didn't catch the email address.

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.
