Just tuned in at 2122 UTC to a dance tune fading in and out of the S7 microinverter noise. Excellent Audio at peaks but no ID yet on 6924.6ish AM
2131 UTC Man announcer but signal dipped into the noise and didn't catch ID,
into a funky electronica techno dance tune

Carrier noted at 0330 UTC with audio at or just above the inverter noise here
0343 UTC Missed the shoutout but caught the end of Seasons In The Sun at 0346 UTC when signal picked up a bit. Thanks Doc! (For the shoutout, not the song )
0347 UTC Man announcer, then "Slow Ride"-Foghat
Signal here is S5 and above the inverter noise
0355 UTC Can't make out the song....hmmm

After I shut down the PC, I heard "Come And Get Your Love"-Redbone at 0505 UTC in USB right on 6875 and then AM. It came back up again at 0510 UTC then off at 0511.
Merciful deities, the solar power inverter noise was off completely just after 0500 UTC! Hmmm....maybe on a timer or something?

Yet another killer signal into the Skipmuck radio room this Easter Eve!
0118 UTC tune in to an old blues tune "Stop Breaking Down"
No question about it...it's a STOP theme this evening!

Hmmm...after the SSTV we have seas, bayous, and bays

Tuned in to a killer S9++ signal here at 0032 UTC and a rap tune with enough MF bombs to take out Putin
0035 UTC Soviet Anthem then DJ Dickweed chatting about an unfortunate stroke suffered by Assistant Stavin (Wishing him a speedy recovery!). Yes, that song before the show was an attention getter...the Easter bunny just hopped into the woods with his bunny tail between his legs. Yes, propagation is fantastic this evening and all these indie tunes are being immortalized on Skipmucks state of the art cassette recorder. Now was that song by the Renegades or the Ex-Ambassadors or vice-versa?
Thanks for the shoutout also!
0228 UTC Cool song "Eurotrash Girl"

Abu started to fade in here about 2240 UTC with the usual witty chat with the folks in Iann's chat. Said he was going to close down at 2308 UTC but still going strong at 2320 UTC, just like the Easter Energizer Bunny

Well it's hard to believe,
So you get up to leave,
And you laugh at the door,
That you heard it all before,
Oh it's so good to know
And it's all just a show for you
But when the suppers are planned,
And the freeways are crammed,
And the mountains erupt
And the valley is sucked into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you, now, LA
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog
Don't you wish that you could be here too
