- Usually Airspy HF+/SDR Console V3.1
- After the tree guys left, now have a 125 ft wire that goes up to the west from 12 ft to 40ft., then a stretch SE that drops to 20ft termination. I should probably just say "longwire" and not worry about it. Miss that tree.
- Sometimes Sangean ATS-909X with whip and/or stock reel and/or YouLoop
- Remote SDRs only used when signal not present at home QTH, and always noted
- Shazam only used to ID music released after 1992. Mostly.
eQSLs to bfrederi1@verizon.net much appreciated

 :) Signal sounds great here now (01:46) with 'Hold On For One More Day'
SIO 455 with just a little fading...

Using Arduino based 'ATS-20' radio, and a random wire outside.
Occasional interference from RTTY

'You Really Got A Hold On Me' by The Miracles on now 01:50 utc
Nice, strong signal with occasional fades.

Tuned in at 0200 utc on Brookfield WI sdr with fair S9 to S9+20 signal, nice soft pop/rock music, nice selection of tunes with the word "hold" in them, at 0243 bowling ball sound then SSTV/FAX, sign off announcement, piano IS then off at 0246. Thank for the nice tunes.
