Post by: Treehouse SWL on September 15, 2025, 0124 UTC: S9+ signal being received at the Traverse City, Michigan, SDR with good audio holding its own against quite a bit of noise on the frequency ...

0123 UTC: "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" episode in progress. I listen to old-time radio plays to fall asleep most nights, and Richard Diamond's a fave of mine.
0130 UTC: The "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" episode is wrapping up.
0131 UTC: Robotic-voiced ID: "W-D-E-F. Shiver me timbers." That was followed by "Bear Mash Blues" by Erksine Hawkins.
0134 UTC: "Tootie for Cootie" by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra. The signal strength via this SDR is now mostly S10+.
0140 UTC: Start of an episode of "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" (brought to us by lots of ad mentions for Pepsodent!).
0150 UTC: The "Philip Marlowe" episode's still going. Reception's holding strong, and the noise levels have calmed just a little.

Thanks, WDEF, for the Sunday night radio dramas and the quick eQSL!

Post by: Molvania Poacher on September 15, 2025, 0138 UTC: SINPO=45333

136- "Tootie For Cootie" by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra.
140- OM says "The Growling" followed by quick spot for Pepsodent ("For the safety of your smile"), and intro to old Detective Phillip Marlow radio drama, staring MGM actor and radio players.
142- Same OM with Pepsodent commercial, with new cool mint flavor. YL chimes in too. Preferred by families 3-to-1.
143- Drama begins with narration by OM, about the Santa Anna Winds blowing in.

Conditions were not the best tonight. SSN = 43 :(

Thanks HFU! Anyone catch the SSTV image?

eQSL process has been streamlined. Propagation predictions of various kinds for the current position of MISERY during the transmission window.

Post by: ChrisSmolinski on September 15, 2025, 1156 UTC: SDR recording catch, 0056 sign on with "The Blue Room". Generally a good signal, with a little static from distant storms.
