0249 - "Eulogy" by Tool.  Audio seems a little stronger now (relative to the carrier).  nice signal
0319 - S9 with "Doubt" by Delphic.

Noticed signal a few minutes ago on the waterfall, fair strength here.
0225 signal's decent now, not quite "good" but better than it was earlier.

Pretty good signal, but the lower freqs tend to be noisy here. Kinda low-key electronic music for the the past 10 or so min

We're visiting my in-laws for the first time in months now that they've been vaccinated, so I missed most of tonight's broadcast.

But I just checked at 0535 UTC, and I can hear Redhat talking with a nice signal via the SDR in Weiser, Idaho. Great stereo AM sound as usual! Sounds like he's just winding down for the night with the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt."
