Awesome signal in the Boston burbs. "Most Friday nights... Ballsmacker Radio" ID at 0237 UTC, then into Marrakesh Express by CSN. Good audio and love seeing pirates on this new popular low band!

Check around 8000-8300 KHz regularly. There are marine nets there frequently. 8137 KHz has regular weather reports for yachts, and there's chatter on and around that freq all the time.

Music by "Aurosonic & Stine Grove" noted on 6925 USB, very nice S8+ signal.

There was a computer voice ID at around 1337 UTC but I have a really hard time with these computer voices.

Decent signal peaking at around S7-S8 but some moderate fading. "Does" by Pompeya @ 1444z.

Also have this in the Boston burbs, maybe S3 at most. Strange conversations and monologues with English and German (?) accents?

To be polite, this is essentially a dead carrier, which is why it probably isn't getting more logs. Very strong carrier, but almost nil audio. Basically a dead carrier.

Very variable signal perhaps due to my antenna whipping around in the wind. Peaks to S8 but a lot of fast fades and local noise this morning.

AM signal playing music, almost sounded like the Dropkick Murphies, then into a voice ID (??). Signal is not strong in the Boston burbs and the audio may be a little low.

There was a pretty clear "UNID TONES" ID in a computer YL voice a minute ago. Then something said about carbon based life forms, then back into ambient electronic music.
