Tuned in at 0339utc, heard Dr Benway give email address undercoverradio@gmail.com, fading in and out just like a mediumwave station which it is, saying hello to Michigan DXpedition and said names.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Rock solid S9 here Dr. Benway! Better than 6925 earlier...tuned in about 0350 UTC. Nice to hear someone above the AM band like the old days...
Thanks for the shoutout! A little bit of selective fading, but nice clean audio...
Wow...someone emailed the Dr. with a report of S9+40! Must have the antenna from hell.....

Been listening on and off to him on 1720 for a while now. Decent signal here at times, but with some deep fades into the mud. Music from Soul Coughing, stories of his encounter with aliens, and a diving trip to the Solomons.

At peaks, SIO 433.

Dr, just an FYI. I can hear you fairly well with good audio on a Perseus server using an active loop, just outside of Edmonton Alberta. Nice job! ;)

Very weak threshold audio on the Iceland Perseus server and a weak AM carrier noted on several Euro coastal remotes.  Well done Doc!
