A good signal into the west coast of Canada...around S5 or so. Good clean modulation. Perhaps a bit of arctic flutter but not too bad. Thanks for the show, Borderhunter!!

Just came back from an errand and Borderhunter is coming in loud and clear at 1846 UTC with deep fades, but S8 at peaks. A little Dutch music here is always welcome!
1852 UTC "Time After Time"-Cyndi Lauper
Signal varied greatly with some deep fades during the next 3 Europop tunes.
1907 UTC Cover of "Needles and Pins", with op talkover...did I hear someone else talking also?
1912 UTC Thanks for the shoutout during the Hollies medley Borderhunter! I thought I heard somebody else talking there! {The Needles and Pins cover should have been 1907 UTC instead of the 1903 UTC I originally posted....ooops!}. Also shoutouts to others posting on HFU!
Hey Borderhunter, I deleted most of my details, so you don't get any fake reports! I have fun typing them in. Of course, I copy and pasted them to a file for reference! Great show today here and it looks like you really got out today with your signal!
2025 UTC Really pounding in her still with the voice of Johnny Cash!
2038 UTC Signal has really steadied now, with very little fading as before..reading letter from the US from someone with a Dutch name.
2100 UTC Thanks for reading my email on the air!!! The Dutch invasion is alive and kicking!
2116 UTC "Go Now"-Moody Blues (Does this mean you are closing down? I think you've been on almost 3 hours today...a marathon broacast!)
2119 UTC Says will be closing down. Into "Nights in White Satin"-Moody Blues
2127 UTC There's never a bad time to "Roll Out the Barrel"!
2150+ UTC Off after ID's, ad for Summermeeting.
BRAVO FRANS! THANKS FOR THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON ENTERTAINMENT!

Heard Borderhunter here in New Hampshire from 21:34-21:51 sign off. Tough to make out detail with just the portable Uniden CR2021 with built-in whip (SINPO=25222, with long, deep fades into the QRN and then only 15-30 second peaks of clear audio during the upswing). But clearly heard techno music and other tunes, with OM IDing and talking over music for awhile. Mentions summertime at 21:34. At 21:40, he mentions the date, looking for ways to have fun, taking a week off from the show, etc. At 21:43, he mentions how it's already late, actually early, with "thanks for the mention" to Chris Smolinski. Signed off and signal gone at 21:51. My first European in many years, so many thanks!
