Strong signal into GA 0009 z. Red Hot Chili Peppers.

S9, steady here. Thanks for the show!

It seems like it is drifting down as time goes by.

LOUD here in Iowa, maybe too loud. Audio sounds like its being driven a bit too hard. Still quite enjoyable though.

REM - ITEOTWAWKI(AIFF)
Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel the Noize
off just before 0030

0026 Had tuned into music. The signal was a consistant 10+ peaking into s15. Audio was solid
00:29 off abruptly - Whoever this was had a Killer Signal into Illinois

Loved Chili Peppers "Dani California" ..... great tune! ;-)

Solid S9 here, audio was a bit over-driven but other than that listenable.

I thought it sounded like the op said "Twangy" 2x @QRT... pronounced with 2 syllables ("Twang-gy")

Really nice signal here. I tuned in during "Red Barchetta" by Rush. Narrow audio. Seemed to be a few Hz over 6925.

Hah! I just looked back over the other reports here to see if anyone mentioned the frequency. I see that the "Twangy" at the end of the broadcast was a reference to Mentholyptus' comment on the audio quality.

I recorded the show if the op is interested...please QSL if you do that sort of thing...

Recorder catch:

6925 USB

Good signal with little top no fade - was tad off tuned being parked on 6925.  At EOS heard what sounded like "..twangy..".
