I had this too, out at Indian Lake County Park chasing DX with Markokpik.  Some truly beautiful Ukrainian music, titles and artists unclear, alas.  I'd love a playlist if one is forthcoming, because some of that was just fantastic.  At least one track was akin to Evanescence or Nightwish, though the language was not English.  Delightful!  This is my first Thunder Chicken catch; thanks for the show!

Fair to good signal with acoustic-sounding tracks, into Indian Lake County Park while chasing DX with Markokpik.  He caught the ID and I didn't, and I suspect my face was an absolute picture when I realized the potty humor inherent in the name!  I'm not about to pee on my radio; I've already got one down for maintenance.  I don't need another. :P  Thanks for the show!

I was also at Indian Lake County Park, chasing DX with Markokpik, when this showed up on the band.  Was that the same song repeated in Russian, English, and German at the start of transmission?  I won't mention the homophobic send-up of Putin - hey now, none of that - though the 'I'm a wanker' song had me invoking Dr. Demento!

Thanks to a tip from Markokpik, I tuned in not far off the hour.  Just before 0400Z with jazzy instrumentals I didn't recognize, and then... are they mixing Foreigner???  They *are!*  Rather well, too!  Multi-voice "you're in the mix!" ID just before the hour changed over.  SIO 433 direct, with some goofy static.  Thanks for the show!

Out chasing DX with Markokpik, and up this signal came!  Took a while to orient on the exact frequency, as all we were getting was rhythm for a minute or two, but then oops, up popped Bowie's vocals!  2352Z ID, and another just before the hour.  Mixing David Bowie, Daft Punk, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  It sure sounded like the DJ was having a party over there!  Fair signal past 2300Z but fading out by the time we cleared out at 0130.  Thanks for the show!

Sorry I'm late, but I completely forgot to log this last night!  Signal fair to good at a fortuitous 0032Z tune-in.  I didn't recognize any of the music, but the WTF Radio ID was definitely clear enough.  Gone not long after 01Z.

Good signal onto the isthmus at 0112Z, "Slip Slidin' Away" to a brief break in audio, SSTV, and into music that I wouldn't have known was Zeppelin if I hadn't read logs before typing up this report.  Not bad, though.  0119Z CW decoded: "Sure I can help you out, which way did you come in? [missed a few words] Damn Skippy".  Music interspersed with SSTV up to 0136Z tune out. 

Which way did I come in?  Judging by the signal, which was good to downright booming at times, I'd say I came in from your north, but that I didn't have far at all to travel!  SINPO 54354.  Thanks for the show!  Do you do the old-fashioned paper QSL thing at all?

Signal fair to good in Wisconsin marsh country (I'm visiting family).  At 0110Z when I finally tuned properly in USB, the music sounded almost carnaval, Afro-Caribbean and Latin.  Into what could easily have been Spanish-language calypso by the sound of it, then a clear ID at 0120Z, and that accent was Australian or New Zealander even if it was synthesized: "You are listening to Radio Nova."  Things kept going in the same very pleasant vein up to a long SSTV image.  Thanks for the show!  If Radio Nova's op or ops happen to read this, do you do the old-fashioned paper QSL thing?  I'd be delighted, if so!

I caught the very tail end of this, I'm pretty sure.  Bluesy music at a 0110Z tune-in, to a clear and reverb-y Wolverine Radio ID, and then a long SstV splurt.  Thanks for the show, though I'm sorry I didn't catch most of it.  Signal loud and clear in Wisconsin.

I was hearing this in AM mode, roughly around 0118Z.  I never could ID any of the songs - not really my scene - but definitely rock music throughout.  SIO 232 with peaks and deep fades.

Did you hear this direct?  I am seriously impressed, if so!  *Nice* catch!

I forgot to log this last night!  SIO 444 onto the isthmus at 0107Z, after a few minutes of struggle trying to get the exact frequency right.  Twiddled the dial with increasing exasperation until aha! thing suddenly clarified into some rather nice music. :)  Thanks for the show!

Fair to good signal on the isthmus amid high noise levels.  0152 ID and 6960 AM frequency call, then into Train's "Drops Of Jupiter" -- good song!  Somebody saying hello via CW (they literally sent hello as part of their message, then zipped it again) and by the looks of other logs, this is some near co-channel interference.  Bleh.  Thanks for the show!

Pretty sure I had this station as well, if that's indeed who was still going at 0310Z.  Playing Dire Straits "Walk Of Life", then some slow jazzy somethingorother I didn't recognize.  Signal peaking to good, fair overall in high local static.  I tuned to 4100kHz on a complete whim and, with a little careful tuning on sideband, got a pleasant surprise!

I clearly missed this.  What a shame. :(
