Tuned in at 0053z, punk tune, "I'm Losing My Head"  WEAK ID mid song.

0103  Rosie the Riveter

S9+10 on peaks, the usual thumping audio.

Thanks, WEAK!

Just occasionally audible here since around 0100z on 6950 USB, hearing some swinging big band tunes.
0114z: WEAK ID, signal picking up now.
0149z: Bit of a theme change from big band and blues to grindcore sorta stuff.  The Palstar SP30 speaker sez Thumpa-thumpa-thumpa...
0210z: "I was born a poor black child", Steve Martin from The Jerk.

0116Z 45554 Some great music from the 30's-40's. Signal only about S3 here, but clean and perfect copy.

0126Z 45454 ID "WEAK radio"

0126Z 45454 Hahaha... S3 only because I forgot I had the attenuator on. Now its S7-S9 (altho, noise up a little too). Kenwood TS-690S with G5RV at 25'

0150Z 45444 Some rap type of Bilbo Baggins.

0158Z 45444 "I'm Happy They Took You Away"

0200Z 45444 ID

0239Z 35333 Chicago "25 or 6 to 4". Band is changing. Noise level up & signal fluctuating somewhat.

0317Z 15231 Can still hear some, but noise is taking over.
