quite strong on Canary Islands EA8BFK KiwiSDR and heard well into Europe, pirateradioboston@gmail.com announced, I emailed them but no reply yet :) *update- got a very kind reply*

VG/excellent signal with alternative pop. One sounded like it might've been from a Japanese synth band. Much weaker but still copyable on the Sony 2010 and PL880 with just the whip antennas. Heard a couple of clear IDs and Charlie giving out the e-mail address via the 2010. Nice to hear PRB again!

Tuned in at 0346 utc on Brookfield WI sdr with weak S9 to S9+10 signal, hear rock music above low noise level, tried several other sdr's east, west and Canada but all were worse, at 0404 said it was a test transmission, at 0406 off air.
-
Fair reception with some digital crap cochannel, with, "This is a test transmission from Free Radio Boston" several times to 04:06 UTC, then off. That's a long way from Masset, BC (due south of Ketchikan, AK)!

Quite good here on the SDR recording, thanks!
