Nice! I'm glad someone else has heard this one. I first logged it last May and have heard it most Sunday nights ever since. Sometimes the operator skips a week or two.

I have heard this myself on the K3FEF KiwiSDR, but the jumble of stations makes it difficult to listen to. Is it still on now?

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

A good signal here much of the time on my SDR recording, although occasional QRM from other stations. Would be nice if the op threw out an ID now and then  ;)
