Fair to very good signal here since 2250 UTC with an eclectic mix of tunes. Polkas, Elvis Presly, Dire Straits, more polkas. Propagation is all over the place though, with band noise and fading. Man announcer during and between songs ;D
Still going strong at 0050 UTC! Hardanger op mentions Skipmuck's name... ;) Nice man!
0100 UTC until close down about 15 minutes after Borderhunter was S7 here with some fades. Great interaction with Hardanger operator....hope to meet him at the White House next time I'm in DC 8)
Op was on 6295 for quite awhile, and then switched to 6297 not long after 0100 UTC until closedown.
Thanks for the program and hope to hear you again soon! Only the names have been changed :D
