Big band music. Sounds great on Sedona SDR but very rough copy at home. Hmmm.
0316 Radio Zed confirmed via email correspondence. No ID heard on broadcast.
0317 OM talking, sounds like old recording of interview. Signal not very clear now, even at Sedona SDR.
0322 music resuming
0332 off or lost

Thanks for the show!

Sort of running barefoot at 50 watts tonight.  First time anyone has heard me in months, so I'm not complaining.   ;D

Near Nashville, I can hear you just above the noise.
I thought I heard some CW earlier ~0240 or so but
I had the audio turned down while watching Big Brother
and didn't get to the audio in time to copy the brief CW.

Picked up a carrier with slight music at 315. Also in Nashville. Zed, what state are you broadcasting from?  That would give me an idea how you could improve your signal.

SDR recording catch, some faint music heard starting around 0300z. Maybe Sinatra? Hard to tell.
Mostly an SIO 222, but occasionally obliterated by UTE bursts.
0303 CW ID? Then an OM with possibly an ID and QSL info.
0309 "Chattanooga Choo Choo".
0330 Off?
