Good signal here, the best I've copied in months. Making a recording to play back later.

0116 "Gloria"
0119 "Joline Begging You Please"


Signal is S5-S7.   Some QSB and QRM.   Signal is less readable than Wolverine Radio....but at times a S9 signal for 2-3 seconds.
Equipment is an IC-7300 using a G5RV diople up 40 feet.   Location is Winfield, IN (Crown Point, IN). ....on a cold 18F winter night....a far cry from my old home in California where it is 60F.

Good signal, Ball Smacker. Not too loud and not any problems. Just right. Thanks for the broadcast again.

Playing songs with women's names, Amanda, Cecilia, Suzy Q, and others. Fair signal here but contending with noise.

Roxanne at 0222.  Heavy fading of signal at the moment but good audio when peaking.
Station ID at 0225 followed by Fleetwood Mac.
RAdditional music by Rolling Stones, Donnie Iris, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, and Helen Reddy(?).
By 0245 station swallowed up in noise floor.
