S9+10db in Charles Town WV on G5RV in attic.  S7 on mini-whip.

Just in time to hear Stevie!  Stand Back.

YES!!!!   RUSH!!!!  Time Stands Still.  The only Rush song that has another singer! (Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday, then later solo records.)

New (to me) Alan Parsons song, and it's a GOOD ONE!  This is gonna stick with me for a while!

Conditions are much better tonight, so hopefully I can get another shot at decoding the SSTV at the end.

S9+20 in Charles Town WV on my IC-7300 with G5RV antenna.

00:00 GMT.

Been listening for about 30 minutes.  Good signal, fades from S9 to S6.  Enjoyable listening.
Thanks for the show!

Charles Town WV, Icom 7300, G5RV antenna.

Readable, usually.  Peaking S6 with moderate background noise on the IC7300 and G5RV.  Nothing on the mag-loop, nothing on the mini-whip.

Decisions, Decisions...  6920 or 6925? 
I'm going with 6925 for the moment. 

Peaking at S8 in Charles Town WV, about 60 miles NW of DC.

oh, it it looks like 6920 is gone, according to the waterfall.

00:43 Marty Robbins is a bit unexpected, but cool. 
01:35 LOVE me some ELO. Don't bring me down.

Averaging s9, peaking 10db over.  Great clear signal here in Charles Town WV, about an hour Northwest of DC.
I guess it's done at 00:37 UTC.   I stepped out of the room for 60 seconds, and it was gone. It was good while it lasted!

S9 Average, S7 dips, +10db peaks here in Charles Town WV.

Icom 7300 with G5RV is working great!  Pre-amp off.

Magloop would be usable, if I needed to use it. 
Mini-whip is unusable for this show due to HVAC noise.

I hear what sounds like two re-transmissions of the show from last night.  Set on you is playing along with the pixies. Both were played at the end of last nights ball smacker program.  Strange!

S9 reception in Charles Town WV on Icom 7300 with G5RV inside the attic.
Fading down to S5 with moderate phasing.

The mini whip is TOO NOISY tonight, and I finally got my switch installed so I can do back to back comparisons.

I have to listen via WebSDR due to a 20 over S9 noise floor, peaking at 30 over 9.  (With pre-amplifier OFF!)
I can hear it in Charles Town WV on the Icom 706, but can't really listen due to noise.
Even the SDR in PA is choppy, and there is the occasional intermod noise from a Spanish speaking broadcast which I can see across the width of 6.9 to 7.0 MHz on the SDR receiver.
