Yes, we are on, just doing some equipment testing with rebuilt transmitter.

Hey BBR, I would love to know the name of that track you were playing when I tuned in at 1113z.

Thanks for the music this morning!

Do you think this is a rebroadcast of a legit station (maybe satellite channel)?  1690 is owned by WVON/Chicago here day and night, so I doubt I would have any chance of catching this, especially at 1800z.  Very interesting though.

Excellent signal here, recording with the SDR so I can listen in more detail later.  Thanks Northwoods!

I just tuned in at 0335z - signal is S6 or so over some light static on the band.  Yes, audio is great as usual.  Getting ready to sign-off now.

The W807 Facebook page says they are off due to lightning hitting the transmitter during a recent storm.  They must be back though.  On my overnight 1710 recording, they can be heard occasionally rising from the relatively low noise floor last night.  At least it sounds like their station, I didn't catch any announcements.  No signs of Radio Celestial here or the Hudson County TIS station during a few spot checks on the recording.

Strong S9 signal with some guys reminiscing about Detroit, Motown and CKLW.  Music now at 0117z.  Show dedicated to a band called "Death", circa 1972 Detroit.  Very interesting, thanks Northwoods!

I caught the end of a Cars song, then off at 2343 UTC.  Was sounding good...

Thanks Pigmeat.  I dialed around but couldn't find any other transatlantic signals poking through the AM dial.  Domestic conditions were nice and nearly static free - unusual for summer.

TWR Parakou, Benin making it through the splatter tonight.  Some good audio peaks with English speaking religious talk.  I've only heard this station once before break through with audio and this was several years ago and it wasn't nearly as clear as tonight.  Very nice conditions on the MW band tonight.

This is what I've been hearing, faint, under RFW.  Clear now that RFW has signed off.  I'm guessing the CW that we've been hearing goes along with this on 6924.2?

Just heard Hall & Oats at 0043z, S6-S7

I'm also hearing occasional unknown communications going on underneath, sounds English but faint, in the upper sideband.  CW also noted in the lower sideband as reported by others.  Audio seems a bit distorted or "pinched" during the Asteroids Galaxy Tour song at 0117z.

0215z: Also heard "Walk the line", but this was coming from another station while RFW was in the middle of another song.  Walk the Line ended, then heard faint YL voice under the song that RFW was playing.

0229z: Whisper ID and off
