S5 and battling the summertime static.  Fair copy.
'traveled over 3 billion miles'
asking for reception reports and gave email address @ 0013.
newhorizonsshortwave[at]gmail.com     (not sure if horizon(s) is plural or not)
Up to S6 and pretty good copy @ 0018.
S7 and good copy @ 0025 with email again.  "Space Oddity" @ 0026.

Nice signal not bad here. Surging up to S7 and winning the fight against the static. Now giving a history of the voyage of the spacecraft.

S9+ with spacey theme and documentary stuff. Strange announcements in robot voice. Very good copy. (Especially from Pluto)

Fair to good signal competing with local noise source. S7 most of the time.

David Bowie on now.

Thanks for the show!

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.

First logging...sent report to e-mail address given: [email protected].

Thanks for the program tonight.
