Hearing old school Rush tunes on 1710am. Assuming this is my local W807 which typically gives me a good carrier, but little to no audio with my antennas.

1415z - Rush - Closer to the Heart

I was looking at this early last evening; good carrier, some audio, never heard an ID.  I have taken down the res loop I use here, and only have the Wellbrook for coverage here, and this tends to show a lot of spurs from the powerhouse Chicago AMs.  I wanted to come back to this later at night but forgot.

This tends to show up at +12 to +16 here, and I am pretty sure that this is one of skeezix's unids in this thread:

I heard early 80s tunes playing late last night (strong at times, other times right into the noise). I also assumed it was W807
