I am hearing this station pretty weak.  SINPO would be 22222, but it keeps fading in to really get a good hearing.  I could make out a few songs, but nothing that great.  I did send in a RR and I hope I get a response.. 73 Steve..

0123utc, poor, tons of static, storms in area but not close to me, was able to just barely hear ID, various rock/pop tunes.

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on June 3rd I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. williamhassig@yahoo.com

S8 to S9, battling the static.  'Divine Hammer' by the Breeders, then several ID's and email @ 0215z.
Then into 'Buddha's Patio', whispered ID and then off @ 0223z
Occasionally rising to S9+10 for comfortable listening.  Thanks for the show!
