Heard with the great Warren Zevon "werewolves of London" at 1:31 utc. My money is on this being Red Mercury. I have been wrong before though,..at least I thought I was, but I was mistaken.

They're peaking 30 - 40 over S9 in east central Illinois. Little to no QSB. One of the loudest I've heard here. Propagation? Or am I close to them?

Very good signal into KY this evening.  Hearing a wide variety of music, everything from Talk Talk to Megadeth.
Thanks for the great tunes!
'Ides of March' by Iron Maiden @ 0148z, then into 'Red Skies at Night', so leaning toward this being RML.

Yep, Psycho Killer, some DJ chatter, now song I can't think of the name of, followed by Tears for Fears Head Over Heels.

0247Z Bohemian Rhapsody
0253 Blink 182 All The Small Things

0318 It's gotta be William Shatner doing "Rocket Man"! Still strong here, 20 to 30 over S9.
