ION Radio 6975 AM 2106 UTC 13 OCT 2022
« on: October 13, 2022, 2107 UTC »
Fair reception, low but audible.  Best concert I ever heard was Mr. Diamond at Forest Hills Stadium (Queens, NYC - the former US Open Tennis site) touring for his Beautiful Noise album on 8/13/76, amazing performer/showman.

2106 "Don't Look Down" Neil Diamond
2109 "A Mission of Love" ND
2112 "At The Movies" ND, reception now very good
2115 "Baby Let's Drive" ND - silent pauses in between music
If you are taking requests "Beautiful Noise"
2121 "Tell All The People" The Doors
2123 "The WASP" The Doors
2129 "The Changeling" The Doors....Hmmmmmm 🤔......ION, maybe?
2133 "Goodbye Blue Sky" Pink Floyd
2135 "Comfortably Numb" PK....time for dinner prep.  Thanks for broadcast and playlist  ;D.
2153 "Sheep" PK....as I await dinner to finish
Thanks for Travelin' Wilburys during dinner.  8)
2219 "First Flash of Freedom" Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.....and the playlist gets even better
2223  "Running Man's Bible" TP et al., now excellent reception during downpours/flash flood warning
2229 Off

21:10 UTC - Extremely weak and unreadable. I can see the carrier on 6974.730 and can hear some audio when in both AM and SSB.
21:14 UTC - Appears to be fading in and the signal is getting a little better.

ION,

You played "The WASP" 2 or 3 times this past winter.  The only broadcaster I ever remember playing it.  ;D

True. John was got by the same guy that tried to get me. No point in rehashing that, the guy is dead.

ION, I had listener who used to be able to confirm my low power set up due to the fact that I would play a cover of Status Quo's, "Pictures of Matchstick Men" when I was doing "Radio Al Fansome". I'd get an email from him before I got home from my remote tx site. We became good friends.   
 
What stunned me about that one was Fansome would send out signed, pre-made QSL's, in the mail the next day or earlier to the listeners who reported hearing it online, the FRW, or the ACE. There were a couple of other guy's who did "Radio Al Fansome" shows, they had the same experience w/ Al. Al was the best.
