About an s2 here in Houston. I'm hearing some music through the noise.

Ah yes. And it appears to be wolverine radio. Signal is getting better here, ever so slightly, about an S3.

Very faint here into Houston, lots of local noise, but I'm hearing some big band music. Something with a clarinet and a woman singing.

Lets see how propagation works out.

0145z Sly and the Family Stone: Dance to the Music
0215 Billy Idol: Dancing with Myself
0219 ID
0219 David Bowie: Let's Dance
0225 Men Without Hats: Safety Dance
0245 ID
0245 Genesis: I Can't Dance
0250 Tom Petty: Last Dance with Mary Jane
0258 SSTV too weak to copy here, and off.

Even in less than ideal band conditions here, it was a great show, as always. Thanks, Wolverine Radio!

It's just traditional Chinese music. Lots of strings like erhu, jianghu, etc. And wind instruments like the dizi and sheng.

I used to really enjoy the provincial broadcasters both on radio and tv during my time living in mainland China, because there was always at least a few hours a day of music like that from whatever region the transmissions came from.

The stuff they play on the Firedrake is alright, but if you want to relax, I suggest listening to some guzheng music:

Faint but still pushing through the noise here in the middle of Houston.
 
I'm actually wearing my Undercover Radio shirt right now. Last week, my aunt saw it and decided she wanted one, too. Perfect timing for another sale.

Thanks for the show and the shirts, Dr.Benway!

Steady S8 here into Houston. Some local static, but still very readable.

Very faint here in Houston. Just enough getting through the noise to be able to tell there's something there.

S9 on the meter here. Just tuned in right in time to hear an ID at 01:45Z and then into "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" by the Spin Doctors, followed by "Two Wrongs Don't Make It Right", and at 01:54Z, a cover of Dr.John's "Right Place Wrong Time".

ID at 01:58Z followed by SSTV (no laptop running tonight) and then off.

Best pirate signal I've heard in a while. Thanks for the show!

I wonder how these are? Reviews seem good.

Decent signal with music up to about 1950z, some announcement, speaking (it did sound like Afrikaans), and as soon as the music started again, the signal got a bit stronger. About an s4 to s5 here in Houston.

ID at 1954

Fading started, but now I can clearly hear a cover of Eye of the Tiger at 20:05

Tuned around to hear Sister Christian by Night Ranger.

Heavy QSB here in east Texas.
01:00Z Male announcer at top of hour, but noise level here makes things pretty unintelligible.

01:03Z Talking in your sleep by The Romantics

01:08Z Noise, Fading, and Pescadores are slowly taking over. Faint music in background, about S-2

01:14Z "This is vagina radio" - Seems different than normal PPVR fare I've heard before.

Thanks for the show!
