Song coming in a little weak and fading out at times. Don't recognize the song, but I can hear the flute pretty good.

Right at the noise floor here. Barely twitching the S meter at times. Heard the flute in the music, or at least it sounded like one when cooked through DSP filtering. Now sounds like a music track with a guitar.

Thanks for the broadcast.

Tuned in at 0307; signal around S3 with music in progress (guitar, could not make out song). Degraded not long after and could hear nothing by 0309.

Not Tull, but more of a folksy singer. The flute was good.

Here too but very difficult to notch out the het from 6925.2ish. It did sound like Ian Anderson's flute for sure. Didn't catch what the guy said at 0309 UTC. Is that 6925.2 Liquid Radio?

Thanks JFarley....if I could only find that missing power supply for the Datong FL-3

Sounds like an utility station (data?) at approximately 6925.2KHz. It is down in the noise floor, but apparently still strong enough to generate a mild het near 6925kHz, at least with notch filtering disabled.

Wow, they were weak and I heard the flute. Didn't think it was Jethro Tull. And I saw them in concert in way way back in Atlanta. Must be getting old.
