Nice signal with lite movie-type music & some other segments mixed in, such as "bring out your dead" YL phonetic ID & into music that I tuned into at 1400 this morning when I heard Ion earlier

Just finished setting up a test version of a fairly large horizontal loop so I can tune the bands on one radio while recording with the other (finally). It sounds pretty good on the R8 right now while listening to Ion

Blues song right now. Thanks for the ID; I missed it over the barking dog. Good signal on peaks with a good bit of fading

Just tuned in during R. Azteca relay. Fair/good signal. Listener letters . . . too bad Bram hasn't made any programs in the past 20 or so years

1405 "This is Ion Radio, 6-8-7-0 kilohertz AM mode on shortwave" repeating

CBS Radio theater presents . . . E. G. Marshall with a scary radio show

Zombieland clip at 1339 into a bunch of music clips, including "Don't Fear the Reaper," "Break on Through."

Signal's been poor, but I've been getting some bits of "Witchy Woman" at about 0220 . . . and now even better for VH "Running with the Devil" at 0224, Charlie Daniels "Devil Went down to GA,"

Weak signal, sometimes fading up above the noise. Signal improving & I'm hearing a lot of '50s/'60s B movie-type sounds & dialogue.

I remember when Radio Rumbos used 4970 kHz. Too bad these stations are gone, but I'm glad to see people making good use of the frequency

Huge signal. Off at 2230. Back on 6931. Repeating that the signal is five watts, but the signal's very strong. Having some audio issues with hum, etc. SSTV with some music in the background

Zeke said the hum isn't even registering on his meter, but clear here. The music is sitting at about S9+10 with no fades.

Good signal here, but only caught the end of the one announcement, so I don't know who it is. Starting to have some fade outs. Heard a fake ad. I haven't heard any IDs, but I keep wondering if it's an old Radio Dead Man show

Bullfrog Beer ad
Rock'n'Roll Doctor skit that used to be on Dr. Demento & some pirates

getting hit with some pesky QRM

Weird-sounding stereo announcement with clear Radio Dead Man ID.
Tom Lehrer song

Too bad Radio Dead Man isn't still broadcasting. They created some interesting radio

Yeah Man Radio with VG signal playing "Light My Fire" & "Mustang Sally." I believe he said it's a golden oldies Monday
