Tuned in 23:05 - 23:30 6928USB Consistent Strong signal S9+ in Dixie on a Verticle Ant. Loud audio with intermittent distortions mostly when Zeke yakking which was a lot. Oldies Mixes like from the 60's oldies. The Zekester surely has the gift of gab and there was more his ramblings than music during the 25 minutes I was able to listen ... lol Thanks for the Show !!

Tuned in 23:15 ~ 23:45 from Dixie. Going back and forth from this one and 6985. Weaker at first SIO433. Became slightly strong as went towards 23:45 SIO 444 then. Again with the audio is 15-20% below carrier level. Rock mixes.

Tuned in 22:55 ~ 23:45 from the Southeast USA (Dixie). The Vault 6985AM. Highly Remarkable steady signal AVG S 7 throughout the entire 50 minutes listened. Audio seemed below carrier strength the typical 85-90%. But plenty loud enough for very good copy. Good audio fidelity which benefited my use of 2 stages of preamp on my Tabletop HF rig for a steady S 15 on the meter and great listening. Classic Pop Rock mixes. SIO 444 with preamp off.

Hearing Tonight 10/2 00:00~ Goofy moment on 41 Meters this Friday night while tuning around at 00:00 - 3 different Spanish etc... QSO's all on LSB, and the only other signal was WQNO's Harmonic on 6970AM. Just thought it was odd hearing only this on a Friday night at that moment and no Pirates lol. I suspect we'll getting even more of the South of the Border QSO's as the Cycle approaches.

TNX to Radio Nuts above for the I.D. Tuned in at 23:14 while going back and forth from Outhouse and Black Flag Radio. Hearing this New Orleans AM'er harmonic was a surprise. Mostly talk, Audio not strong or up with carrier. SIO 333 slowly reducing to a 222 by 23:25

Bad luck tuning in at end of Brdcst. SIO 444 in Dixie. I Am The Wanderer playing at tune-in and off at 20:37. Not terrible copy through lightning static. Transmitter audio less than carrier strength.

Tuned in at 21:35. SIO 223 from Dixie.  Ethereal sounding spacey rock mix heavy with guitar riffs. Hurt my ears. This one ended at :46 into next ethereal mx sounded more middle eastern heavy on flute riffs. Reminded of an experience I never had sitting in a bar in Morocco puffing hash on a hookah. This one also hurt my ears as I was not high on hash  Between 21:43-45 was lower-modulated talking part of a program. Could not tell if was a 2nd station station underneath or within the music broadcast but at a lesser-modulated level than the music.
