WWWW 4185 DSB?> FM>USB 0105 UTC 25 Nov 2022
« on: November 25, 2022, 0109 UTC »
S5 with "25 or 6 to 4".  Lots of QRM from a wide-band utility.
0109 - "Living After Midnight"
0113 - "Mr Blue Sky", audio distorted for me
0117 - switched to FM mode with "Owner of a Broken Heart"
sounding much better in FM mode
0120 - switched to USB
0122 - "Gimme Three Steps", S6
0126 - "The Pusher"
0227 - still going, S7 with "Don't You Want Me"
0230 - ID, Whiskeyx4

Thanks for the tunes!

4185 USB
Since about 0150, via home receiver with indoor antenna:
0150z Steppenwolf, Barn to be Wild
0153z ZZ  Top, Sharp Dressed Turkey
0158z Queen, Bohunk Rap Sophistry
0204z Stomp them wolves, Mushroom Carpet Ride

0230z repeated IDs WWWW, Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey Whiskey, then off or faded out
