0n 0042z with some musical selections I can't ID but sounding very nice on peaks here.  Deep rolling fades between S9 peaks and S4 troughs.

0056 Poss OM ID then off 0057z, but I couldn't catch it; poss audio problems?
0059 Back on 6951.5 for a while then back to 6950.0
0120 Another poss OM ID; mike level sounded low, and I couldn't catch it; back to music
0137 Another poss OM ID - damn - audio distortion has been increasing
0218 ment "93.7 The Edge" and Minnesota
0219 off air

Thanks for the show; enjoying the tunes!

Sounded like a Metallica Tune to me.  But really weak signal. Completely gone at 0052.
Btw, 6940-6945 are completely covered by some data stream.   I think it's centered on 6942.

Mostly in the noise, but faded up nicely to hear 'Seven Nation Army' by The White Stripes @ 0100z
Sounds like good audio when I can hear it....

0104 -- 'December' by Collective Soul
Possibly 'Happy' by Sister Hazel, but rough copy @ 0113z.
0118 -- sounds like Crash Test Dummies song
0123 -- 'Rusty Cage' by Soundgarden
0135 -- 'Satellite' by POD  --  I had to switch to USB was starting to sound distorted in AM
0140 --  Nine Inch Nails song
0145 -- 'Violet' by Hole
0148 -- 'Here Without You' by 3 Doors Down  --  signal has come up some, but has flutter.
0152 -- 'Clumsy' by Our Lady Peace
0159 -- They Might Be Giants song ??
0202 -- 'Where Do We Go From Here' by Live
0205 -- 'The Walls Came Down'  I can't remember who did this.....
0207 -- 'Big Bang Baby' by STP ---  signal came way up during this song
0210 -- 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' by Deep Blue Something --- signal back down now
0215 -- 'All For You' by Sister Hazel
0218 -- possible id [i missed it] and off

Thanks for the tunes!

Sounding good tonight with some 90's rock.

Sorry about not having times.  

White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Collective Soul - December
Faded out till Three Day Grace played
Then heard some Soundgarden - Rusty Cage
Nine Inch Nails - Closer.
Hole barely audible but hanging in there.
3 Doors Down - Here Without you.
Our Lady Peace - Clumsy
Unsure of couple tunes.

Stone Temple Pilots - Big Bang Baby
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Sister Hazel - All for you
ID - couldn't make it out tho  ???
The data mode near freq really making this problematic.

OFF around 0218

Heard the tune-up tweeps on 6950 before 0100z, fair carrier, but so far music just barely audible, not enough to ID anything.

Weak het here at 0118, nothing's come up since then (0121)

0124 Signal popped up with about 1 minute of heavy metal - like music, then dropped off entirely.

0200z Down deep in the noise in NH, about S4 - weak enough that any ID will be tough to copy.

0218z Some kinda commercial station chatter and ID? (93.7, From Davenport to International Falls, Minnesota's 100,000 watt new rock alternative - The Edge)  Some googling says this is KEGE Minneapolis

0219z "I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand"  Google tells me this is a quote from "Aladdin"

0220z Off

Thanks for that YouTube link synthman78 - "one billion milliwatts"
