S3 on peaks with some fading. Generally pretty quiet here so pretty good signal overall. Good to hear NWR again.

RGG, 6925u, 5-21-11, SINPO 25442
Not really moving the S meter, but clear and steady above the noise level. Sounded like a clip from Woodstock used as an IS at 1400z
1404z - Everybody Plays the Fool
1407z - ID then into Rock the Boat
1413z - Gary Wright - Dream Weaver
1425z - Queen - Radio GaGa. Fade picking up.
1435z - RGG SSTV which was too weak here to lock - Voice ID then off.
Thanks RGG

Started off quite strong at 1733z with an interval signal peaking S8. Seems to be slowly
getting weaker during the opening ID and "Born To Be Wild". About S6 now.
