00:32z  Tuned into George T "Drinking Alone"     Excellent  S7 - S9 AM signal
00:34z OP talking - RTN ID , saying thanks for signal reports, checing out Tx equipment
00:36z  CCR  Willey and the Poor Boys"
00:42 - 01:06z  Good solid S7 - S9 with a few deep fades to S6 Blues Music UNId through "Bar Room Blitz"
1:06z  "Bells" then signal really begins to deteriorate down to S5 into the local static & noise.
1:10 - 1:15z can just see the carrier fade in & out now - little music coming through the noise at S5

Always good to here you on the air..RTN - Thank for the music.

A steady S7/S8 signal, which has been building nicely since sign/on.  Great sounding audio.
Nice solid ID, addy, and shout at 0048.  Unfortunately, signal started diminishing after 0050, but did make out "Fly Like an Eagle" around 0055.

0112 Nice fadeup with IDs, Moodies - "The Voice" - nice pick RTN!
0122 "Roxanne" blasting thru the noise.
0145 off

Thank you RTN, and HNY!

Able to recognize the music, but mostly at the S3 noise level.  Heard Fly Like an Eagle and then Ballroom Blitz 0105z

Update:  Nice clear ID @ 0122 and into Roxanne by The Police -- S4 with S5 peaks.
