Something came up at 0100 UTC but just too weak to make out above the noise. Suddenly at 0107 UTC the "Purple People Eater" song was coming in strong, then off at 0009ish UTC. Hmmm

Testing is working out really well and this should be heard well into the US!

So we wish.  JBA here, and it appears that the signal is not making it far past the Great Euro Brick Wall of Massachusetts and Maryland once again.   

We steal as much of the signal as we can using a Euro brick trap antenna

Tuned in to a killer signal on 15700 KHZ at 1541 UTC with Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Great audio and signal peaking as high as S9 here in Western MA. Testing is working out really well and this should be heard well into the US! It's now 1620 UTC and signal is excellent...program of European R & B and techno dance tunes mostly.
1702 UTC Jingle..."Take another long hit on the bong at Laser Hot Hits"

Huh? / Re: Jack Bruce, bassist of 60’s band Cream, dies at 71

« on: October 25, 2014, 2139 UTC »

I was just coming of age when I heard "Sunshine of Your Love" for the first time and the riff has been running through my head hundreds of times over the years Jack was the one who wrote and did lead vocals for the song. Eric Clapton overshadows the other members of Cream, but Jack Bruce was a phenomenal bass guitarist and not only wrote some of Creams best songs, but also "Theme For An Imaginary Western", which was done up really nicely by Leslie West & Mountain. I read somewhere that Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce had an adversarial relationship on stage over the years. It is too bad that Jack Bruce never got the commercial success in his solo efforts after the breakup of Cream. A somber tip of the hat to one of Rock & Roll's royalty

Very weak here, but able to ID "Just Another Brick In the Wall"-Pink Floyd at 1407 UTC tune in. Was able to hear bits and pieces of man announcer and music popping up over the noise floor, but otherwise poor copy. Thanks for the test though Trans Europe!
