Hearing Jimmy Stewart at 00:41UTC speaking about Perry Como and giving his email and talking about listeners! Signal is fair but there is some noise making it difficult to hear! Hope to hear more tonight!

0230 - reasonable sig. OM talking about shortwave radio and maybe tuning around and retransmitting stations(?)
          RS 47. Now talking about Win10 - BTW: Microsoft is wearing me out with nags to upgrade to Win10!
          Thanks for a new station and thanks to the others here on HFU for making me aware of MAC; it's freq
          is not in my usual "RF Neighborhood"
0239 - "Whip It"
0250 - sig seems to be improving but clouds and QRN increasing >:(

I wondered who that was? I listened from about 1:15 to 1:40. A lot of free-form psychedelica., I thought I heard an old Seeds b-side when I first tuned in. Solid s-8/s-9 signal with a couple of minor fades. Excellent wide clear audio, with a very warm bass. This SIO is easy-peasey, 555. Didn't catch an id as it was fireworks time.

Good to hear Tony Mac back on the air.
