Good signal.

0200: Eagles - Already Gone
0203: American Girl
0207: When the World is Running Down
0211: Are You Gonna Go My Way

Audio pretty good, lots of lightning around Disgraceland tho. Too much lightning to hear any hummy audios.

That'll do it, just checking out the transmitter.  Would appreciate reports on the audio quality, want to make sure I got rid of an old AC Hum in the transmit.  Audio looked clean here.

Thanks for the clip!  Sounds like the AC hum I had is gone.  Now to work on the audio quality and get the board and EQ back in line.

About an SIO 444 on the SDR recording. Great to hear Twangy Radio again!

Good to see  your voice, Twangy!

Still lurking in mom's basement.  A bit less active lately, mainly due to the fact that all antennas are in the rebuild/PM process, and things have taken a lot longer than expected.  Every now and then I put up a quick longwire when there are no storms expected, but not last night.
