0230 UTC Strong carrier noted, followed by "All Day and All of the Night"-Kinks
0233 UTC OM said something, then silence...carrier still strong
0234 UTC "You Really Got Me"-Kinks (Music is much lower in the carrier now)
0236 UTC OM with a fast ID..."Radio Free Euphonia sixty nine seventy kilocycles international shortwave", followed by "Suzie Q"-Creedence Clearwater Revival (Much better now on the modulation level!)
0241 UTC OM with ID, followed by "I Put a Spell On You"-CCR (S8 peaks with light fading and light noise)
0245 UTC OM with ID, followed by "Proud Mary"-CCR
0248 UTC "Bad Moon Rising"-CCR (Signal dropped down quite a bit mid-song)
0251 UTC "Lodi"-CCR (I think the band went long for me here...music fading in and out of the noise)
0253 UTC Deep in the noise  :(
Thanks for the Kinks and CCR! It was good while it lasted! A much better choice of frequency too!  8)
0257 UTC Signal has partially recovered with "A Whiter Shade of Pale"-Procol Harum
0301 UTC Rough reception again...can't quite make out the song

Listening via the Jerseyville, Illinois, SDR, as the signal is pretty weak on the west and east coasts ...

0240 UTC: "Suzie Q" by CCR.
0241 UTC: OM voice with ID, then ""I Put a Spell on You" by CCR. The audio's peaking nicely between fading cycles. But, overall, the signal and audio are struggling to stay consistently above fair.
0245 UTC: ID again into "Proud Mary" by CCR.
0248 UTC: "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR.
0251 UTC: "Lodi" by CCR.
0254 UTC: "Green River" by CCR.
0257 UTC: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum. Signal and audio's now coming in fair at the Northern Utah SDR.
0301 UTC: "Walk on the Ocean" by Toad the Wet Sprocket (one of my wife's old faves). Fading is now hitting hard at both the SDRs I'm checking.
0305 UTC: "Here's Where the Story Ends" by The Sundays. (Glad I stuck around, as this is one of my all-time favorite bands.)
0309 UTC: "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush (also a classic, obviously). Fading still rough at times.
0314 UTC: "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. (This last block of songs is basically what my college's radio station played while I was there in the early '90s.)
0318 UTC: "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies as the noise and fading really swallow the signal now.

Thanks for the music tonight, RFE!
