Barely catching it here in the valley of the big muddy river. Wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for the others who id'd it. I'll keep listening in hopes that it clears up as the flaming globe goes down...

2334 Faint copy, some static, SIO 131. Hope it stays on past my sunset which isn't for another hour.
2336 local QRN obliterating signal right now
2338 siren briefly audible
2344 signal gaining strength, 232.
2356 XLR8 ID. Song might be "Mirror in the Bathroom" English Beat
0004 still hearing music from below the noise floor.
0007 Minutemen song from side one of "Double Nickels," but I can't remember the title
0011 this one's familiar...
0014 XLR8 ID
0015 new song
0019 ID? Static crashes wreaking havoc right now.
0030 interference subsided a bit, music still audible.
0033 "No More Heroes" The Stranglers
0035 XLR8 ID into "Three Nights" by Black Flag Thanks!
0042 signal very faded now
0054 signal has made a bit of a comeback. SIO 121
0056 Marshall Crenshaw "2541" which I believe is a Grant Hart song. I saw him play this in Seattle ages ago.
0057 Thurston Moore "The Best Day"
0107 XLR8 ID
0115 reggae tune
0118 XLR8 ID
0121 XLR8 ID
0125 XLR8 ID
0154 signal had almost completely disappeared but starting to come back. Hip hop track?
0200 occasional QRN that I'm guessing is some kind of RADAR.

Thanks for the show!

Does anyone know what song was on prior to No More Hero's?

Signals are improving. S5-S7.

XLR8, 6930 USB, 0014, 10.7.16.  End of a song with an ID right away; initially about S6 and noisy with signal improving after about 0100 to S7 and clear now (0148).  Lots of rock music with periodic ID's. 

Thanks for the show.
