Via Westminster, MD ...
2103 UTC: "No More" by Long John Baldry. Big fades every half-minute or so, with another station rising up in the background, but a strong signal otherwise.
2106 UTC: "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" by William Elliot Whitmore.
2108 UTC: "Lost on You" by LP; the song seemed to cut out for a second a few times.
2112 UTC: YL synth voice: "This is Radio Free ..." Banshee?
Then bits of a song going off and on. Sounds like audio problems.
2116 UTC: New song starts, but audio hard to hear. Fading hitting the signal more now.

Voice of the People and all those other Korean clandestines often come in pretty well to this area in the morning hours. I'm in Lake Stevens, and even with just my whip antenna, that one, along with Echo of Hope and Voice of Freedom are regularly heard here.

Tuned in via Chris' SDR in Westminster, Maryland, as the signal's not making it to the Seattle area ...
2028 UTC: "Nightmare on My Street" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
2030 UTC: OM announcer with ID of "Radio Free USA" as the song was ending, mentioned this is an early Halloween song and gave the email.
2031 UTC: "This is Halloween" playing as the OM announcer gave another ID or two.
2034 UTC: OM -- aka Mr. Red Sky -- started playing the "Halloween" movie theme, gave his name, IDs, email again.
2037 UTC: Mr. Red Sky gave ID and email again, then played "Dragula" by Rob Zombie. I can get the signal via the University Park, Pennsylvania SDR, with a fair but distorted signal, but it's not making it anywhere in the West (Utah, Idaho or Washington state) that I've checked.
2041 UTC: Mr. Red Sky with a quick ID into "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne.
2045 UTC: After an ID and the email address, Mr. Red Sky played the theme from "The Exorcist."
2048 UTC: "I'm Your Boogie Man" by KC & The Sunshine Band. The signal's fading now with increasing static via the Westminster, Maryland, SDR.
2052 UTC: "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon.
2055 UTC: Mr. Red Sky gave shoutouts, ID again into "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. Now listening via the Burke, Virginia, SDR. The signal's fair to good, but static creeping in on the increasing fades.
2100 UTC: Halloween sound effects as the signal fades some more. Ah, it's "Halloween" by the Misfits. Getting more difficult to hear the signal via Virginia.
* * * *
2123 UTC: Checked in on the signal at my own receiver and via the SDR in Machias, Washington, which is just across town from me, and I can hear music right at/just above the noise floor level now.
Thanks for the early Halloween tunes, Mr. Red Sky!

MW Loggings / KTWO 1030 0430 UTC 17 October 2019
« on: October 17, 2019, 0610 UTC »
Both this evening and the previous one, while driving in Lake Stevens and Marysville, Washington, during local night, KTWO out of Casper, Wyoming, was dominating the frequency. Tonight, I heard Glenn Beck's show and then a news break mentioning where Wyoming ranks in gender pay equity.
It was completely obliterating KMAS out of Shelton, Washington, which reportedly runs with just 1,000 watts at night. KTWO used to be a near-nightly station here, but has sometimes gotten lost in the noise more often in recent years.
Glenn Hauser reported last week that KTWO is being heard more often in the Eastern U.S. these days, possibly because it's not running its directional pattern that's supposed to protect Boston's WBZ.
