2214z MAC ID, S7-S9 in NH, macshortwaveradio@gmail.com

James Stewart Show, doing swing era tunes from a Time-Life collection (all tunes "from records")

2216z Just took a huge dive down to S3
2225z Back to S8 now

Giving time and freq checks so it seems to be a live show

2253z Gordon Jenkins - Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered from a 78 (S9+)
2312z Glenn Miller - Little Brown Jug after Penn. 6-5000

2323z Off with Star-Spangled Banner

Thanks for the show Jimmy, nice tunes and sounded good here in NH.

S7 to S9 with very little music, same details as the others. Probably shouldn't admit it but really like the 40's sound.

It's a wonderful show.

Blasting in here at 2259 UTC with some Honky Tonk piano. Solid S9 signal with great audio! I'm measuring closer to 6950.5 KHZ.
2305 UTC James Stewart ID'd last 2 songs as from the 20's...real 78's! Went into a chat with his "engineer" about films he played in and didn't play in. Live TC as 2306... Id'd next song from Glenn Miller
2309 UTC tune by Glenn Miller!
2315 UTC Signal dropped down abruptly from S9 to S3...buried in the noise now....??? Catching snippets of audio here but rough copy now.
