Tuned in at 0030 on Barrington Hills IL sdr with barely there signal at S7 noise level, hear occasional bits of weak audio, tried other sdr's east west and north and they had nothing, is this stn running one watt or are there northern lights tonight? It's cloudy here in Chicagoland so I can't tell. At 0100 tried sdr in deep south Texas with weak but readable S7 to S9 signal, hear electronic dance music. Got email from Liquid Radio saying he's running 6 watts.

I saw that on the waterfall of the Brookfield WI sdr and clearly heard a male saying the names of meat such a turkey, goat, sausage etc. It was mildly amusing but as a Vegan and sometimes a Vegetarian I wish he had said the names of fruits, vegetables and grains instead.
