Picking up the station pretty good at 02:11 UTC with station ID XLR8 by male announcer followed by unid song.  Then at 02:17 UTC, new station ID and new song I am not familiar with. A very slow station ID came on at 02:25 UTC followed by more tunes.  Thanks for the show.

Tuned in at 0223utc, fair sig with light static, nice light pop/rock tunes, sounds like alternative music they play on college station WNUR at Northwestern University, R8 & dipole.  
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

0258z: Good signal here in Gopher Stomp, Texas.  Some kinda reggae-ish music, some punk.
0300z: XLR8 ID, more music.  Good punchy audio, the kind that sounds great through the Palstar SP30 or Optimus cube speakers.
0330z: Joe Jackson "Friday" - great album, great era for pop music
0333z: Ex-El-Are-Ate ID, more Joe Jackson "On Your Radio".  Graham Maby.  Dat bass.



0404z: Moby
0415z: Four Gods "When Daddy Blows His Top"
0416z: Off after ID

Overall SINPO from 0300z when I tuned in, 34423.  Unusually low RFI, not much QRM, some fades to barely audible.
