Pretty good copy from West Michigan on 1710, USB works best to avoid 1700 splatter.

6930 LSB with Tears For Fears song "Everybody wants to rule the world" followed by Tom Petty "Won't back down" at 0104 UTC.  Weak signal but clear and readable.  Thanks Turtlehead!

Progressive Music Radio segment right now and "The KKK took my baby away" song, must be the anniversary show, nice clear signal tonight on 6925.  Thanks!

S7 signal here with some light fading, overall pretty good signal with live mentions of targeting Europe and replays of some older shows.

2240z Nirvana song
2245z ID and email address and into CW ID
2252z B52's "Channel Z"

« on: January 03, 2012, 0214 UTC »

Very weak here and barely above the noise (like the 6924.1 station)

0144 UTC: sounds like Oasis "Wonderwall"
0146 UTC: start of another song
0147 UTC: sounds like live talk by male announcer

Still nice catching your signal again CJ!

Threshold audio here, sounds like someone talking over music, difficult to make out at 0143 UTC.  Maybe coming from Europe?

S6-S7 signal with some fading, just appeared around 0250 UTC

Off at 0345 UTC by thanking everyone for tuning into the MW band, "It's been an interesting experiment trying the MW bands..."

I think I'm copying it here at 0020 UTC, poking its head above the noise floor every few minutes with a chirpy dash about one per second.  I'm measuring the frequency at 8349.77

« on: January 01, 2012, 2123 UTC »

Heard here under a blob of noise that I can't shake between 6931-6934 kc:

2121 utc: Dr. Benway talking about his delayed comeback and experiences he's encountered

Weaker signal, but I'm catching most of what's being said, sounds like a new or live show.

EDIT: Signal coming up nicely as time passes...

Radio 2012 Int'l. came on the air a minute or two after WFMT signed off about 2057 UTC.  With electronic dance music and frequent IDs, S7-S9 signal with slight fades, overall nice quality signal.
