[Molvania Poacher]

Tough copy here tonight, SINPO=14121

108- "Home By The Sea" by Genesis.

[MDK2]

Fairly weak copy, which has been the norm for me for a while. Sounds like MARS or something like that may be on the same frequency or near it.

[myteaquinn]

Signal isn't as good as usual with slight fading but still enjoying the show. Thanks for the broadcast.

[Dr. Strangelove]

S5 with lots of storm noise tonight

[slother]

S9 in Pacific Northwest and well above my noise. Looked like about 6khz wide AM signal
