Hello,
I heard Thunder Chicken Radio at 2150 GMT near Chicago on Dec 9th.  A string of popular vocal songs was played, (I'm an old guy...didn't know the titles of these songs)
There was a pause between songs, during one of the pauses a "bubble machine" was heard.  Then I heard SSTV tones and shut down.  Freq 6.955 USB.  Excellent signal
over S9.  An EQsl to: wdx9khy@yahoo.com would be much appreciated.  Good songs. Good signal.
