  Heads up from the poet The Crystal Ship as I hear The Doors with a decent signal here in Western South Carolina plus 10 signal here with some fading but overall a good signal! Thanks The poet! Heard a political ad Bernie Sanders and then back to the music! Good Job! Signal is still good!

sounding very good in hampton bays NY
just wish there was a little more low end audio response on the sound, it seems to be cut off at 100Hz.
highs also seem to be cut off as well, about 3Khz max.
sounds like the rig being used is an old tube style transmitter since the frequency slowly creeps upward at about 10Hz every 10 minutes and the audio response is indicative of such otherwise, playing really great awesome music !
how about some Bob Seger ?
off @ 2318

Still S9 @ 2255 with the Moody Blues.  Noise levels are a little higher than at the start, but still very good copy.

2210 weak with interference from a sideband station.

Usable, but almost 'unpleasant.'
