MAC sounding very good *0058 with IS, USA National Anthem. Talk by Jimmy Stewart, time checks live, but he said the date was May 3rd?!  S-9 +20
No problem Jimmy on the date, lol

Just starting up?

0104 Talk and ID by James Stewart
0105 Into some old music
0110 Mea culpas for announcing the wrong date; supernumerary martini syndrome; giving the time in several time zones; talk about the Jimmy Stewart movie "The Man From Laramie" (good movie; I like "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" better).  Talk about a generic eQSL in the future with the date, the time, and all that.  Great idea!  Nothing fancy.
0125 T/C, ID, freq; Jimmy Stewart mentioning that he took a figurative kick in the nuts today; ment he'd like to co host a show with other ops
0143 ment that any movie starring Jimmy Stewart is the best movie in the world.  
0150 Jimmy Stewart having difficulties finding songs that won't put him to sleep.
0202 In The Mood
0206 Ultraman playing a few bars of In the Mood on clarinet?  ID, addy, Ultraman playing SS Banner

Thanks for the excellent show, Jimmy and Ultraman!
S9 here

Been a while since I have heard MAC. Nice S7 signal and good audio here. Caught National Anthem at 0059 and ID at 0104. Some old time music and then saying sorry to Chris and Joe for the wrong date. Thanks for the show MAC. Glad I finally caught you. ;D

Tuned in at 0149 to the end of some 1930's or '40's-ish music.  Snore, says the op, then oh, that one either put me to sleep or woke me up.  Mention of many radios not being able to tune to the exact frequency, so 6951 or 6950 would work.  Clear MAC Shortwave ID in there, then into music again - sounded like a couple miscued tracks, then the right one. 

New catch for me!  Thanks for the show!  And wow, that op sounds rather like Jimmy Stewart.  Huh.
