No Patsy and Elmo? They've got a Spotify list.
Nice S-9 signal on the Kiwi w/ the 900 ft. loop @ Smolinski's Radio Ranch and Geiger Counter Compound. Fading a bit, sounds like Eric Clapton doing an acoustic version of "You Look Beautiful Tonight".
I'm heading out west to see if I can get a better signal at Marie's place.
Nope, but I got back in time to hear the great Jackie Wilson belt out "Lonely Teardrops". Jackie invented what became known as "The Moonwalk" thirty years before Michael Jackson caught his own hair on fire showing off. Jackie was the best.
The Rolling Stones with "As Tears Go By" a song they gave to an underage girlfriend of Mick's named Marianne Faithful ,I wonder what she did with it? The Miracles with "The Tears of a Clown". More Miracles with "The Tracks of my Tear's". Smokey could sing his ass off back when Motown ruled the airwaves.
Huey Lewis,meh, followed by someone who sounded like Jackson Browne. Followed by funk tune. Op talking about qsl's, pass.
Your modulation is low, approx. 3:05 UTC, bring up the audio.

Just bits of music in the noise here

0157 "Wildfire" IS, ID, "Shout" - Tears for Fears, "I count the tears" - The Drifters, ID, "Driver's Seat" - Sniff n' the Tears, "Spinning Wheel" - Blood, Sweat and Tears, "Two kinds of Teardrops" - Del Shannon, ID, "Lonely Teardrops" - Jackie Wilson, "Don't cry out loud" - Melissa Manchester, "Don't shed a tear" - Paul Carrack into a program of "tears" related songs.
Started at a good S 8 - 9 and slowly declined to S6 - 7 with increasing noise by 0242.

0243 UTC: A noisy S7 signal. But enjoying the music as I try to organize my pictures.

Thanks for the broadcast it was enjoyable as always.

S7 @ 0253 with "Here Come Those Tears Again" Jackson Browne
-
S7 and mostly below the band noise. Very bad copy, Ballsmacker! Not an enjoyable listening experience. You're making me long for the days when you were "just some wires strung up in the trees" and back on 6960.
-
Much better signal on the V-Beam pointing NE on the Kiwi in Westminster,MD. Valdemar Huerta w/ "I'll Be There Before The Next Teardrop Falls". Valdemar aka Freddie Fender aka "El Rock N' Roll Kid" was a helluva guitarist,too.
Female with what sounded like id.
Some caterwauling female singing a disco tune.
Now this is more like it. Question Mark and The Mysterians with "96 Tears".
Contact info after SSTV racket and interval signal 3:33 UTC. approx.

The only thing I'm getting is a tiny blip above the noise grass. No audio was heard at any time. Hope this helps.

It's the atmosphere. There's not a thing any of these folks can do about it. At least Ballsmacker and a few other op's have had the sense to go down the bands.
