Good signal, some noise, and occasional deep fades.  But otherwise enjoying the music!

Fades have been getting worse since about 0020.   Still playing lots of great music from my days as a young-un.

Good signal for AM with little to no fading. Good audio quality. Storm crashes hurting local reception tonight, but the strong signal is getting through. The good modulation is helping getting through static crashes. Good job Mr. Poet and thanks for the show. Enjoying the music by The Byrds and other oldies.

Signal is improving some as I'm writing this.

Since I work 2nd shift now and missing most of Pirateville Radio, tried out the SDR recorder and did it right. Thanks JP for the stroll down memory lane. Caught TCS here with a solid S9 and peaks to S12. Audio was excellent. Would post songs but Skipmuck and Byteborg took care of that. Thanks guys. Again thanks JP and the Relayer for the great long show, enjoyed listening on the recorder very much. Hats off to ya! ;D
