Radio Free Whatever, 6945.0am, 6-26-13, 35422
Good quality signal on peaks, but frequent deep fades to the noise floor. Sync really helping here.
Just at sunset here in Chicago.

Tuned in at 0033Z, music, then ID at 0037.  Shout out to HFU at 0038z, then back to music. (Space Oddity?)

Steady S9 here, some noise but pretty fair signal.

Wish I could hear them better, but mostly in the noise here.  I can recognize the announcer's voice, and heard bits of 'Red Red Wine'.
Peaked up a little at 0124z, playing 'The Middle'.
