Good S7 USB signal coming in AL.  Sounds great.  I normally can't hear BOR when in AM mode.  Thanks for the show!

Thanks Doc...glad you're hearing me tonight. I hope all is well with you...BOR

Thanks for the reports guys. Thought I'd go back to ssb for a while...at least, until the summer static begins to ease off. All the best...BOR

Very faint for me in the S4 noise floor

Sorry you're not hearing me well but, I am on the oppositie coast so very far from you. I'll do a show on ssb one of these nights...should be better reception then. Cheers from the west coast....BOR

Definitely hear someone there but its waaaay to noisy tonight. I noted this earlier while outside with a portable but it was a JBA carrier then. Definite music pops up from time to time. but impossible to ID.

Actually , once I unplugged the laptop BOR was much better. I would recognize that music anywhere.

Thanks, glimmer...hope to be on with a much better signal over the winter. All the best to you, my friend.

Came up on top of RTN playing Doc Watson tunes. RTN since moved to 6940. No ID as of 0550Z. About S1 to S2 on the west coast.
0611Z playing some nice old-timey music...still no ID
0617Z possibly an ID but couldn't quite catch it....possibly one of the SDR recorder boys can get this one.
0623Z another ID and, damn, I missed it...put on the Heil headset so if they ID again, I should be able to hear it.
0627Z another ID...sounded like "Deceptive" Shortwave or something similar. This might be a new one as I can't find anything similar sounding going back through the listings.
0637Z another ID...all I'm getting is the "Shortwave" part...the first word seems to be getting cut off...I will say that the audio is good and the tunes are pretty good too...
I've just been informed on #pirateradio that it's Eccentric Shortwave I'm listening to...from the op himself :-)
Great tunes!! Thanks for the show.
0654Z off the air...thanks again...hope to hear you again.

0540Z RTN had been on 6925 but an ssb station playing Doc Watson came up at 0535Z and RTN has moved to 6940. The ssb station has yet to ID.

Thanks for the report. I was just testing things out after being off the air for a long time. I didn't expect to be heard by anyone at this time of day.
