The Beginning 6960 AM 1554 UTC 4 SEP 2021
« on: September 04, 2021, 1556 UTC »
Music on 6960 AM, listening via W3HFU kiwi SDR in MD (900' skyloop antenna)
1556 hearing station ID that I can't quite catch, but mention of location in Providence RI was easy enough to catch.
1559 Sounds like "the beginning"? into "Crazy Train" Ozzy (but sounds like a remix)
1602 switched to W3HFU kiwi SDR that's hooked up to 120' T2FD antenna, some poppy cover of "Boys of Summer" playing with a good SIO 444 signal
1603 "The Beginning" station ID. Still not 100% confident that I'm hearing that right, would appreciate confirmation from other listeners

ID:  "You are tuned to The Beginning, from Providence, RI" 1603 UTC

Thanks dxace1

1605 remix (or cover?) of "Heart of Glass"
1607 station ID into electronica cover of "In the Air Tonight" (starting in the middle of the song)
1611 electronica remix of Tom Jones "Black Betty"
