Very strong here, with occasional deep fades, and that "pipeline" effect.

S7 here with nice audio as usual on 6950 USB at 0113 UTC with some pre WW2 tunes of uncertain name and uncertain artist.

0140 UTC "Up On the Roof"-Drifters
0143 UTC "Wolverine Radio"-UNID tune
0146 UTC UNID BB King tune

0153 UTC "Wolverine Radio", then "White Room"-Cream
0158 UTC "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window"-Joe Cocker
0201 UTC Hmmm...
0204 UTC "Another Brick In the Wall"-Pink Floyd
(Signal seems to be holding steady at s7 here and well above the noise)
0208 UTC UNID tune (I spoke too soon....down to S3 during this song >:()
0211 UTC UNID reggae tune
0235 UTC "The House That Jack Built"-Aretha Franklin
0238 UTC "Wolverine Radio", into SSTV

DOH!

Normally we have Wolverine playing on the sound system in the house.  But this night we had other things going and only heard the first few songs before having to turn it off.  And, unusually, I did not record.

Anyone have a recording of this show they could share?

T!
