I heard an AM signal come on with music at 2330Z but it was extremely weak here and all I could tell was that there was a signal there.

I had to leave at 2340Z so I didn't get much chance to listen.

Should've posted this a while back. Got an e-QSL from Rave On Radio for a broadcast on Feb. 27 on 6925 kHz. Thanks!

Very sad. He provided me with many laughs over the years.

No, no, no, you don't understand how radio works. All I have to do is fade my voice out like this and cue the organist ...

I hear it at 0545Z. Very weird as you've said, sounds like some sort of electronic music.

There's a signal in there, extremely weak here. If I'm not imagining it, it has to be USB ... no carrier detected.

So what's the theme for tonight? Motown? R&B?

Seemed more like Motown to me. Just signed off at 2339Z.

Thanks again Radio Ronin!

Just got home and tuned in. Great signal here despite non-optimum antenna. My 40 meter loop came down and I'm listening on an 80 meter dipole. Still, S9 average and S9+20 on peaks.

Just played "Midnight Train to Georgia" and currently "Heard It Through The Grapevine."

On May 21 last year I was at the Dayton Hamvention. Out in the flea market we heard a loud rumbling noise and thought it was the Rapture. But when sewage started coming up through cracks in the pavement we realized it was the "Rupture."

Really weak here, I can hear music but can't even tell what's being played.

Someone occasionally whistling on top of station.

Heard the ID once. Still really weak here and QRN is S9 at 0220Z

Loudest by far here in central Illinois has been Wolverine Radio. With a name like that, you'd think they would be in Michigan.  

Other stations generally loud here are Radio Ga Ga, Radio Casablanca, Radio Ronin Shortwave. I haven't heard Undercover Radio in some time but they used to be loud here. Also Northwoods Radio used to be loud but haven't heard them in a while either.

WBNY, Radio Free Euphoria and Sycko Radio are OK but can be on the weak side here. Recent transmissions by Radio Free Euphoria have been received pretty well here.

WBOG was rather weak tonight. We're having a solar storm now so I'd like to see how they are when conditions are better.

Lots of noise here, too. I'd say SINPO 34233 in the Black Hole.

When first tuned in, playing music of the type I'd expect on Radio Casablanca. Then heard "Hotel Alpha Hotel Alpha Hotel Alpha Hotel Alpha " and something like some numbers by female voice, then WBNY ID.

The HAARP spectrum monitor on-line looks pretty bleak right now. I suspect they turned down the sensitivity just in case ...

I kinda like Fansome's postings. Still don't know who Tony T-O-N-Y Straka S-T-R-A-K-A is.
