It's 2141 UTC and the 49 meter band is starting to open up for Europe. I'm hearing 6200 KHZ fading in and out of the noise floor with music.
2200 UTC Signal up to S5 here with great audio...some fading.
2220 UTC Solid S7 now with fairly good copy on announcements. Wish I was more up to date on the European popular music scene :-[

0211 UTC Signal is amazing right now! Solid S9 with 100% copy of LHH DJ's talk! Song at 0213 UTC is like a local now. NICE!

Huh? / JOE SAMPLE (CRUSADERS) DEAD AT 75
« on: September 17, 2014, 2307 UTC »
JOE SAMPLE R.I.P. 1939-2014

Joe Sample, who became a jazz star in the 1960s as the pianist with the Jazz Crusaders and an even bigger star a decade later when he began playing electric keyboards and the group simplified its name to the Crusaders, died on September 12, 2014 in Houston. He was 75. The cause was mesothelioma (cancer of the lungs), said his manager, Patrick Rains. Among the albums on which his keyboard work can be heard are Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark and The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, Steely Dan’s Aja and Gaucho, and several recordings by BB King.

I had the good fortune to see him with the Crusaders opening up for the Rolling Stones in Boston Garden during the 1975 Stones tour. I had never heard of them at the time, but I was immediately impressed as soon as they started the opening number of the show. There was no question that the audience was also very impressed....they blew the walls out of the building!

General Radio Discussion / THE SKY IS FALLING
« on: September 11, 2014, 0028 UTC »
When I logged into AOL this evening to check my email, I was amused to find out that this afternoon's X1.6 solar flare was making headlines! Nothing at all in the article about us hapless shortwave enthusiasts. I did notice that earlier today, WWV on 10, 15, and 20 MHZ was basically inaudible. Anyway, isn't solar activity supposed to be on the down cycle?
