Now to introduce our moderator to the dark side of radio.

I was gonna say - we should at least hear his respected opinion on such matters.

Caught RGG on a recording last night. S1-S2 signal here with fairly low noise. I was off frequency a bit, but heard a clear ID "This is Radio GaGa, live from ____ Lake".

Right at my rather high QRM level today. Stone Temple Pilots "Dead and Bloated", then Lenny Kravitz "Fly Away"
at 2210z.

2215z - Soundgarden - Blackhole Sun.
2226z - Foo Fighters?
2234z - Blur - Woo Hoo
2300z - Toadies - Possum Kingdom. Same comments as KK7 about the ID's. Hearing ID type segments after song sets, but nothing clear yet. The last of the Christmas lights plus a nearby QSO are not helping.

S7 on a S5-S6 noise level. Nice clear audio.

ID at 0054z and mention of HFU logs. Sounded like some country music before the ID. Signal
seems to be slowly improving.
