Just able to pull an ID out at 0237z.

Thanks RTN!

0205 UTC, a very weak "thump, thump" is coming thru the noise floor
0209 UTC, sounding like OM is talking with "thump thump" in the background

Thanks for the show RTN.

0213z "Pump Up the Volume"
0215z clear IDs
0220z ID, mention Pirate Chat, email

s5-6 light but consistently hearing RTN despite rain static [heavy rain trade off is better ground conductivity?]

Thanks for the show RTN!!!

Initially very weak signal into the SF East Bay, but did just copy the ID, at 0405z, 905pm local.

1984 by Eurythmics at 0418z
Walk This Way by Run DMC at 0462z
Voice break at 0430z
Planet Claire by B52's at 0432
Song I couldn't ID at 0436z
Insane In The Brain by Cypress Hill at 0440z
You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive at 0444z (I fixed Pete Burns' TV once, back in the 80's)
Voice break at 0450z
Promises Promises (awesome!) by Naked Eyes at 0450z
Friday I'm In Love by The Cure at 0454z
Station ID at 0457z
Song I couldn't ID at 0457z
In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins at 0505z (great drum sound that was recorded in a room with very thick stone walls at Richard Branson's place).
Station promo at 0510z
Possession by Sarah Mclachlan at 0510z
White Lines (Don't Do It) by Melle Mel at 0516z (accreditation when originally released was to Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel, but Grandmaster Flash actually had nothing to do with this record)
Station ID at 0523z
Song I couldn't ID at 0523z
Another song I couldn't ID (aaargh - my musical knowledge, and the signal strength, is failing me!) at 0527z
I think I heard an ID in the middle of the above song, at 0532z
Station promo with e-mail address at 0534z
Oh! I know this song, but can't quite figure out what it is, and it's really bugging me because I like it! (if the signal was just a bit stronger, I know I could hum it and get it!) at 0534z
Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol at 0538z
Station ID at 0541z
Real Wild Child By The Igster at 0541z
Another one I can't figure out at 0545z. The fact that my blind cat jumped up on the desk and knocked the regeneration control didn't help either :-)
Station ID at 0549z
Let's Go Crazy by Prince at 0549z
A friend called me, and I never heard the end of Let's Go Crazy, but at 0558z I am detecting a very weak carrier but no modulation (which may even be from another station). Not sure if they are still on the air at this point.

Thanks for a great show. Lots of fun!
