Singin' chicken's, who doesn't love that? Do you have the Hen House Five's cover of "In The Mood"?

That's because it is stereo, you crazed Molvanian! I've got one of Chris S's Kiwi's set on CQuam and am getting full separation on the headphones. The KRAP op is crafty.

Joe is getting kind of dull, TC. Play some Junior Brown and enlighten these folks to the sound of the combo, "Guit-Steel". If Junior would release music more than twice a decade maybe people would appreciate the music of the little man in the big hat more?

Sounding sweet on the Kiwi, Fred. Heard one of my late Mom's favorites, "Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison.

I listen to a friend's carrier-current AM stereo station on his SDR. I'll have to try your link after dinner.

I'm covered. You forget, I'm a follower of Fansome and his primary Apostle. Say 20 "Hail Belinda's" send me a sizable indulgence and he might just take mercy on you. The Lord of The Penguins can forgive if he's not busy doing something else, like creating X-Ray Vision or shushing talking mushrooms. The latter plagued a certain pirate op who has lately gone missing.

Interesting, a couple of small colleges where I grew up had their transmitters shut down in the same time period. One was a HBCU, no more R&B and Jazz in the area until the state started funding public radio about 1977/78.

They were popping on and off all evening, Ron.
The signals were good with most of the Stateside ops I heard last night but the audio quality was "watery" as if props were varying constantly, if that make's any sense? I blame it on the Canadians and their nasty smoking habits.

I had them this morning a little after 4 utc. on a SDR in Pennsylvania and another one in Wales. The signal was barely above the noise in PA., the band was "watery" last night this side of the Atlantic for even NA op's. They had a decent signal in Wales, the first time I've had any success with them on the UK SDR's.
BTW, I had a booming, broad AM signal on 6205 in Wales that I think was Laser in the same time frame? The SDR listed it as being a station from the Canary Island's but I'm not so sure?
edit by Ray : see Laser Hot Hits 6205 AM

Uh-oh, Josiah has moved East, taken over 77LJS and has gone, "convert or die". It worked for Charlemagne and his Dad, so why not?

That sounds like Robert Schuyler and his "Crystal Cathedral" in California. He used to preach from a drive-in theater while the flock sat in their cars and listened on their radios and adapted when he built his church.
A lot of drive-in theaters used Part-15 AM in those days. There was a drive-in across the river from my house whose audio was on, I think, 830 kHz.? Down the road about 3/4's of mile there was a wide spot on a slight curve in the highway on the hillside where you got straight look at the screen. Tune to 830 and squint and you got to see a free movie. During the summer that area was full of cars, and people in lawn chairs with transistor and portable radios.
I never went down there much, it was a dangerous place. 65 mph speed limit and people all over that two lane road. The best thing as far as I was concerned was they had fireworks every Friday and Saturday night from Memorial Day until Labor Day. I could sit on my front porch and catch the fireworks every weekend.

« on: June 12, 2023, 0128 UTC »SINPO=43333 (nice, rich, full signal with strong bass and stereo sounding audio).
112- OM IDs KRAP, and comments on good reception being reported using various SDRs, plus Skip using his own radio and antenna (per HFU posts). Talks about next tune, into...
113- "Heat Above" by Greta Van Fleet.
118- OM IDs and talks about last artist, and IDs song name. Has a short playlist. IDs next tune, into...
119- "The Candy Song" by Masters of Reality.

Yup. Penny Lane. I can remember the Beatles cartoon for that one when I was a kid. ELO with "Evil Woman". Some jackass QRM'ing them on USB. Move it, dumbass! Steve Miller on 6931.8 AM. "Abracadbra" Steve Miller again. Steve only knows four chords but he got a lot of use out of them.
You don't have Steve's "Mercury Blues", do you?
Had to go take a leak. I heard Hendrix doing "Purple Haze" and a couple of seconds of "Penny Lane" and off. Nice S-9 signal in Westminster,MD.
