Solid signal here in SW Florida (Sarasota) on 4015 USB with S-10 peaks. I didn't recognize the soul song but good signal as I tuned it in. OM talking about being more cheerful while drinking wine on the air and promising to give a FM TV shout out later on. More music at 0201 bar song by Leon Russell into FM TV shout out.

Nicely done and Happy New Year!

I can hear "Never in Time" by Genesis but local QRM is killing me with the noise. Fair to poor S5 to S7 in Sarasota, FL. Hopefully they'll stay on so it improves as sunset progresses.

Good signal into Sarasota, FL. S-7, caught ID by OM at 2237 with intro into next song.

4185 khz propagating well early, could be a good night.

Got it here in SW Florida. Very noisy. Acopella arrangement or doo-wop. Sounds like OM with ID at 0101 but couldn't pull it through the noise. Into 50's type mx.

Hope it improves. 3-4-2-2-2 here.

Solid 4-4-4- here in Southwest Florida. Just tuned in and listening to the music.
Sounded like Gloria Estafan then into some jazz (not a jazz fan). ID by female robotic voice at 2233.

Nicely done!

Good signal into northern Ohio this evening. Sounds like a jazzy musical song at 0000z. Zeke is on the air now. No ID for which of his stations he uses.
Oops Goat Cheese Radio with a Tom Petty night.

You nailed it. Took about 5 minutes of listening, but it broke through the thunder crashes at 0004.

Got it here in SW FLorida, good signal, Breakdown by Tom Petty live, sounded like ID before song of "Junk King Radio" waiting on confirmation.

Sorry if ID was vague, was clarifying at tune in.

SIO 4-5-4 here in Sarasota County.

More talk about "Tom Petty night" then finally a non-garbled ID by Zeke at 0004 with "Goat Cheese Radio"...tough copy at times.

More Tom Petty on Tom Petty night after ID.

Fade hard to S4-S5, coming back at 2244.
Got the Day is Done by Peter, Paul, & Mary at 2243,

More music. Thanks for the show!

0106- Tuned in to hear "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison
0107 - DJ id'd song, still fading some here.
0108 - "Running down the Dream" by Tom Petty after the song, OM talking about antenna adjustment, 6950 khz, I made an antenna adjustment moving azimuth more ENE, signal improved
something about "online radio star" then clear ID at 0114
0114 - "Private Idaho" by B52's
0118 - Another ID after talking about putting together list of his favorite songs
0119 - Jingle automated ID
0119 - "Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads

Not bad here in Southwest FL. S7 signal after antenna move...good taste in music!

Have them here in SW Florida too. S7, only catching the stronger of the two. Sounds like a marine call.

Tuned in to hear his ID as "last show of the year 2020" at 2307 then Andy Williams "There Will Never Be Another You".
Interesting older music choices. Especially the current one, starting to flutter a bit at 2326.
Blasting into SW Florida S7-S9. Nicely done and Happy New Year!
