You're welcome! Out of interest,  how much power are you using and what type of antenna, my friend?

The transmitter is a homemade 2x6146b,and the antenna is a 47m  longwire ,7m the vertical section,and  the rest 40m  spread horizontally at 15 m from the ground, the same antenna i use some times  at the mw band 1620-1700 khz for speaking with others Greece pirates, some pics here https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,41943.0.html

2130 UTC Carrier noted already here with just an occasional hint of audio at threshold
2140 UTC There is also a weak carrier on 7727 khz, so I had to switch to LSB for Zeppelin. Still a bit early but I can hear hints of music real low in the noise

Hi Zeppelin Radio! Sunset here on the East Coast is 2349 UTC, so grayline reception is still a ways off....I'll be checking in until I can ID some songs!  :)

Hi Ether Hacker! He's made it into the east coast here a few times already! At least twice with a fairly good signal too!

2221 UTC "Ode to Billie Joe"Bobbie Gentry  :)
2235 UTC "The Weight"-The Band
(Reception conditions not very good today.....signal is hanging right at the noise floor)
2245 UTC "Crimson and Clover"-Tommy James & Shondells
2250 UTC "Jennifer Eccles"-Hollies
2256 UTC "Something's Happening"-Hermans Hermits
2307 UTC Maybe OM talking now....tough copy here
(Signal is buried in the noise now....not much chance of hearing more  :( )

Thanks for the broadcast today Zeppelin Radio!
