weak here in KCMO. Reception is better on my portable with 10 foot wire indoors. That happens alot with pirates, next to nothing on the good radio with good antenna but good on the ats909x w/indoor wire. go figure

ID (I think) at 2:21z

On at 0203 with bluegrass music.  0214 with audio testing, more music, and additional testing at 0220.  OM sounds like Rave On Radio, but no ID.

Damn... it turns out that one radio (an R 75) is causing QRM on the other radio (sdr-iq). turned off the Icom & reception via the sdr is now excellent.

SDR catch, first heard at 0212z when the AM station signed off.  Very weak signal.

Recorder Catch on 6925 USB

On 0202z with very nice selections of bluegrass as noted.  Several blocks of music alternating with periods of the OP's test suite.  0220z OP mentioned that listeners should send him their reports.   0226z several ments of Harry Smith ("I know you're out there"), and the "Harry Smith Test".  0239z several repeats of "The test is over".

I'm sure this is Rave On, but I cannot hear a definitive ID in my recording.

S6 to S7 here, and thank you for the test, ROR!
