Heard 'Talk to you later' down in the noise while checking several SDRs...

Nice fadeup at 0033 for 'Perfect Strangers' - Deep Purple, 20/9 on Traverse City SDR.

Absolutely pounding into TC at 0038 with RUSH-  Tom Sawyer
Into Phil Collins at 0041.

0047 Fleetwood Mac and the pounding drums, "if you don't love me now..."
0119--- "She's a Beauty" by the Tubes... brings me back memories from 1982

Tweeted this broadcast to my old Free Radio Cafe twitter account,
and one reported back as hearing "Psycho Radio" ID--- I must have missed it
while trying to post logs on other on-air stations...

Positive ID heard at about 0129, with a long list of call-outs from this logging thread,
including myself where my listing of 'the chain' lyrics is mistaken for a request,
but he already had played it, but played it again at 0130.  Before that a favorite, "Stone Cold" by Rainbow!
Thanks, bud!

Signal getting weaker, any 4 mhz action tonight?? Ah, faded back up at 0137-- with "Modern Day Cowboy" by Tesla.

0153-  ID and into BTO's "Let It Ride"-- another of my childhood favorites!
(It sounded even better through a Johnson transmitter with modified audio!)



I am really failing on my UTC time conversions lately, guess I need a dedicated UTC clock in front of me when I do this....










LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!!   Thanks for the show tonight!
