0030 You know that noise that sounds like a sandstorm or something? I'm getting that directly on this frequency.  >:( But I can hear Redhat underneath it.

UPDATE: noisy but solid copy. That sandstorm thing dissipated a long time ago and I've been enjoying things for the past hour or so.

0304 Faded almost completely away, but bits of music still audible.

Thanks for the show Redhat!

 Hearing a tone test of Red Hat on 6885am here in cold Western South Carolina 10 plus 9 over tonight!!! Heard at 01:00UTC Looking forward to some music!  Rebel Yell by Billy Idol at 01:04UTC Who's crying now by Journey.Booby Caldwell What you wont do for love at 01:24UTC! There is definite interference tonight like some type of electrical pulsing in the signal!!!  Red Hot Chili Peppers on at 01:35UTC. Signal drop completely here at 01:40UTC as you were about to play a song! It is gone that is the signal!! Signal has come back up here at 02:15utc with nothing for the past 25 minutes really weird tonight! Hearing Robbie Robertson now 02:17UTC one of my favorites! Lovers in a Dangerous Time by Bruce Cockburn! By the way he is from Canada! Signal has gotten better in the last 20 minutes or so!! Hearing some new music tonight from the 90's! Signal is 20 over 9 now! Things can change in a hurry as the signal has drop back to S7 now and there is disturbance too. I am going to say good night Red Hat good to hear you again and thanks for all of your dedication!!
