I've been recording via the Drake R8, but listening on the Magnavox D8443 boombox with the whip down & no external antenna. Sounds good! A few of the songs that I've heard & know are Guess Who "No Sugar Tonight, Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me," Stones "Brown Sugar," Archies "Sugar, Sugar." Crazy how good it sounds just on the boombox.

10 Sept 22
6960 AM
Sitting in the backyard with the Sony ICF 2010.
For some reason my phone kicks up EMI on this freq with the Sony ICF 2010. Gotta turn off phone to hear signal on this freq with this phone.

0145z Mary Poppins "Spoonful of Sugar" just barely audible through fades and heavy local RFI
0149z partial ID, bowling pins sounds, something bowling (?) radio, 6960 AM somewhere in the northeast.
0150z Bow Wow Wow "I Want Candy" still just audible through noise and fades
0159z Incense Peppermints, still barely audible here
0202z bowling sounds and ID
0202z Green Eyed Lady
0207z Marcy Playground "Sex and Candy," signal a bit stronger now
0208z Ball smacker radio ID with proton mail address
0210z Echo & the Bunnymen "Lips Like Sugar"
0213z Big Rock Candy Mountain, not sure which version, acoustic
0216z Neil Young and Crazy Horse "Cinnamon Girl"
0226z Candyman Sammy Davis Jr, just barely audible
0228z Ball smacker radio ID, bowling alley sounds
0236z SSTV, no copy here
0238z Ball smacker radio ID and email
0239z intro to Michael Martin Murphey "Wildfire," then stopped or faded here
0240z carrier off

Good audio and bass, helps ID material through noise and fades
