Tuned in to "Simple Kind of Man" followed by OM with reception report details at 0130z.  About S9 here with lots of storm crashes on the resonant loop.  Sounding good at 110W, about 3K audio.
The Cars "All I Can Do" 0133z.

Twisted the antenna a bit and now have you at 10 over S9...nice
Deep Purple @ 0142z.

+-RH

P.S. I pick a little bass here too from time to time ;)

6940usb, tuned in at 0128utc 3-31-13, Lynard Skynard tune about fathers advice to son, song "it's all I can do(?)", fair with some static, sed redmercurylabs@yahoo.com, read emails on air. As soon as he said "baker street" I tuned out because I cant stand that "ear worm" saxophone riff. Tuned back in after channel Z radio left air and he's not there either. More power trouble?

0153Z, Just got home and hearing him closing the show. Bummer.  The 3 minutes I did get to hear was loud at S9 with some very distant static crashing.
