In AM mode, could hear parts of Honky Tonk Women. The signal is really buried. I can still hear it in there at 0305UTC

Chris- I wasn't near my logs when I posted. There were several station IDs and the email address. Signal was a good 444 with some slight fades.

I could make out Jimi Hendrix. It was about a 2 overall, as far as I recall.  I first thought it was Survival Radio. But this came on at the same time on the same channel.  That explains the difference in volume levels of the Survivalist and the music...
