S5-S7 signal via the Lodi, New York, SDR with very good audio and -- considering how noisy it is on the band tonight -- relatively low noise levels ...

0048 UTC: "Asleep in the Desert (Instrumental)" by ZZ Top.
0051 UTC: British-accented host talking about the just-played song, then "Let 'Em In" by Wings.
0056 UTC: "Telephone Line (Alternate Vocal)" by Electric Light Orchestra; sounded like the phone ringing bit from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" first.
0102 UTC: "Speak to Me/Breathe (Breathe in the Air)" by Pink Floyd.
0107 UTC: VFO host on the mic, suggesting listeners use beer or magic mushrooms to relax while listening, followed by "Long Time Gone" by Crosby, Stills & Nash.
0112 UTC: ID into "Soulshine" by The Allman Brothers Band. The signal's gained some and is now pushing S9 at times.
0118 UTC: Host talking again, giving ID and email, and then "Amie" by Pure Prairie League.

Thanks for the music tonight, VFO Radio!

01:33 Easy Now - Hot Tuna   S7-8 signal here in SE VA. Loving the playlist! But seems audio has no low bass. Maybe going through a ham radio 300-3KHz filter?
Loving the show!
01:37  There ya go, much better but still not much below about 100HZ

Good signal in western New York

0141z  Tuned in just in time to hear a sign-off announcement. "This is VFO ... QSLs from VFO underscore ... this concludes our broadcast", with "America the Beautiful" playing in the background. Not much to report, but it was nice to get the ID! Unfortunately, I didn't get the full e-address for QSLs.

Drake R8B, 700 ft long wire aimed west

QSLs appreciated and meticulously preserved for future generations at jim(dot)renfrew(at)gmail(dot)com
THANKS FOR THE RAPID QSl!

Thanks!

SDR recording catch. Generally a good signal here, and static levels were much lower than the previous night.  Thanks for the great mix of music!
