0115z - "In the Air Tonight" - Now AM. Down to S1. Turned off an amp, perhaps.
0122z - "Fat Bottomed Girls" - Now below S1 and right above the edge of the noise floor.

Maybe S1. It is above the noise floor, but utes above and below it are nearly wiping it out here.

As noted in one of my previous loggings, does Old Time Radio count as pirate anymore? It seems to be pratically transmitting 24/7, or well, at least it is often on air when ~40m propagation is open to here.

SINPO 55445 at upwards of S9+20 peaks.

Random dropouts, but a great signal with good audio when transmitting.

Thanks for the broadcast (test?).

0010z - Noise floor increasing, so out with the preamp for now. Nonetheless, still S7 peaks and good audio when transmitting.

SINPO 55334 at S9+10.

Some noise and fading for the band so far here tonight, but still a good copy and great audio.

Enjoying the blues music. Thanks for the show!

0345z - "Seasons in the Sun"

SINPO 55345 at S9+ via the 9' vertical and preamp. Static crashes aside, good audio and easy copy.

Thanks for the show!

Thanks in advance if someone wants to merge my duplicate thread.

BTW, that unrelated data transmission was painfully loud even on my 9' vertical, and I am not even using headphones tonight. o.0

Parody songs. Wierd Al?

SINPO 44233 at S7. Static crashing is getting rather intense at times here.

Thanks for the broadcast!

SINPO 52343. Dealing with some intermittent QRM from what sounds like a couple of CW ops.

Peaking over S9+10. Good signal and sound quality.

Thanks for the show and shoutout!

SINPO 52343. Pesky QRM and some static crashes, which is making for difficult listening at times, but otherwise a S9+10 signal into central Florida.

Thanks for the show!

Great signal and great music; as usual. Thanks for the broadcast!

Are we not allowed to use a VHF loop?

Anyone using an interesting antenna for VHF monitoring? I am currently omni on VHF and above. Usual discone, plus a crossed dipole for the FM broadcast band. I probably should toss together a yagi sometime.

SINPO 55344. Peaking over S9+20.

Some radio play currently on a scene featuring a husband talking to his wife about a gambling debt.

I suppose Old Time Radio still is considered a pirate broadcast. ??

The excellent music tonight motivated me to bother with the preselector and preamp.

Now rocking a S9+30 signal into Florida via the 148' "shielded" loop flat on the ground in the backyard.

Kudos on keeping the NC-183D in service. Good stuff.

I have a NC-125 in working order and great condition, though admittedly, it is more of a showpiece in the home office these days.

SINPO 45334 at 0506 UTC.

Some noise and fades here tonight, but still a good signal. Floating around S7 to S9 peaks. Great audio quality, too.

Thanks for the broadcast! Plus the shoutout.
