Fair reception

2221z "Barefootin" Robert Parker
2222z "Turn, Turn, Turn" The Byrds
If you are in a 60's roll, Je T'aime Gainsbourg/Barkin version
2227z "Double Shot of my baby's love" - Swingin' Medallions.  Far better reception
2229z "Since I've Met You Baby" Ivory Joe Hunter
2231z "Kentucky Woman" Neil Diamond. (Maybe the best concert I ever saw, him outside at Forest Hills - then US Open tennis site - Aug 13, 1976)
2234z "My Guy". Mary Wells  Reception faded to floor
2237z "He Will Break Your Heart" Jerry Butler. Reception very, very good now
2240z "L'amour est bleu" Paul Mauriat
2243z "Red Rubber Ball" The Cyrkle
2244z "Ya Ya".  Lee Dorsey.  Excellent reception
2247z "Hair" The Cowsills (?)  but maybe original Broadway production, a lot of deep fades during song
2251z "Judy in Disguise" John Fred & His Playboy Band maybe?  Reception is pretty poor
2257z "Locomotion" Little Eva reception started good then crashed and back up again
2300z Almost no reception, music just over noise - can't ID song
2301z "Dreamin'" Johnny Burnette.  reception returning
2304z "Mr. Blue" The Fleetwoods
2306z "Dizzy" Tommy Roe ( a favorite song of mine to play on the drums)

2336  Just barely there.  I can almost recognize the songs, but basically "unusable."

Well, as I hit "send" for my previous post, the signal was suddenly 30 dB over the noise.  No longer "unusable!"

wow, thats a great catch for all of you gentleman !
i had the TX operating at just under 1 watt and it continues to operate now playing music from the 1960's.
NVIS propagation seemed to be excellent around those times, this a great way to mark down the times and create an average time over the course of a week to give OP's an idea what times are optimal for NVIS weekend broadcasting.
thanks for the logs, have a great day !
