I was able to hear a little of the show, but I didn't have particularly good reception. There was a lot of static for me and the signal seemed to go in and out, but wasn't especially solid when it was in. *shrug* Oh well.
FWIW, my RSSI was showing around 30, and the SNR was generally not more than about 20. I do have a signal meter of some kind on my radio, but with 12 segments on a scale that reads from 0 to 10 seems weird to me. On that, I was getting about 2 or 3 segments, so maybe a 2 out of 10?
I didn't listen for very long, but thanks for doing the broadcast.

Elvis at 0155z, on 6980, IDs as Ball Smacker Radio, "somewhere in the northeast".
I neglected to power up my phaser at first, but this was still loud and clear on what should have been a fairly dead antenna. So "northeast" sounds about right.

We doubled the amount of emails ever received before tonight, so thanks. New TX amp is awesome. Hopefully it doesn't melt itself or anything else. Donations really do make a difference!

A nice e-QSL just received, with tonight's theme prominently displayed. Thanks for the quick response! Don't worry, I won't reveal tonight's theme.
