I'm hearing a weak signal here with music just above the noise.
0201 UTC Signal just jumped up to S5 with a funky late 60's sounding tune(I guess this is a modern artist with some 60's chops!)

Same here at 0056 UTC with strange Sci-Fi noises on USB, but all I get on LSB is crackling noise.
Took me awhile to figure it out, but the USB component is on 6945 and the LSB component is on about 6948? Wierd.....

Heard here yesterday while my PC was out of commission...tune in at 2228 UTC to Rock/pop tune, ID by OM at 2233 UTC (Chris Smolenski got a shoutout!), song by Blind Melon, right before close down mentioned "I am very tired...long, long day...* then off at 2255 UTC.
Fair to good signal with S7 peaks well above the noise floor...first time logging for me, so now it's time to listen back on the recording and see if I can ID those 80's tunes! Thanks for the broadcast Cupid Radio op!

*EDIT:Listened back on the cassette recording and did NOT hear Joe Farley's name, but got all kinds of additional details for my report! Op gave a plug for the HF Underground! The email address given just before closing was cupidradio@hotmail.com
