QRM show, S9+10 here on the netSDR and sky loop antenna. Also audible on the 43m dipole, but much weaker.

Great to hear RFW on MW!

Moved to 1720 around 0126, much better!

Got metal on 1710, but much splatter from below.

0140 Kicking butt now on 1720 - around S9 on a resonant loop, buried under a 1000 + 720 mix product with the Wellbrook

0156 "QRM" then off?

That's S9 peaks; also noting wicked fades to the floor from time to time

Thanks RFW!

Got them down here, clear ID @ 0113z.  Quite a bit of co-channel qrm most of the time.
Nice job RFW!  Big fade-up during the Pantera song, booming into Kentucky!!  S7, playing "It Ain't Like That" @ 0121z

Very nice since the move to 1720.  S7 to S9.

Wow---I never see stuff on 1710. I can see the carrier---or could anyway S5 at 0111.

Definitely a rock/metal tune being played at at 0142 UTC. S1, maybe. Just a 40m dipole for receive here, though.

weak carrier with occasional bits of music in KCMO. My antenna doesn't do MW very well.

R. Free Whatever, 1720, 0143, 12/2/13.  Been watching the het with occasional music rising out of the static floor.  at 0143 the signal stayed out for about 2 minutes, long enough for a song to end, and an ID and some talk before abruptly dropping out again.  Bit of music again at 0153.

First time hearing a 1720 station.  Thanks.

Checked and observed a carrier on 1720, but not much more, maybe a dB or two above the noise.  Granted the loop doesn't work down here very well.

Never thought I'd hear RFW on MW! Had them on 1720 last night. Clear signal into south Jersey
