Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

~0200 UTC (9 PM EST) tune-in — S8
Playlist noted:
Wild Horses — Rolling Stones
In the Year 2525 — Zager & Evans
Rooms on Fire — Stevie Nicks
Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses — U2
Seven Year Ache — Rosanne Cash
Fire on the Mountain — Marshall Tucker Band
A Horse With No Name — America

Nice themed set — “Fire Horse Year” (songs with fire, horse, or year in the title).

Signal started very strong and clear on 6960, then some fading later in the broadcast so I switched to 4032.

Receiver: IC-7300 / vertical antenna
Reports are direct from Tunkhannock, PA
32' vertical.
