Good copy out west. I have to run but have the SDR recording and will update with a full report.

All songs ID'd by Shazam. I'm just not an expert on 60's R&B.

0008 this started out poor to fair signal, sounds like an old R&B song at this point. SIO 131
0011 Signal up a bit, "Work With Me" Hank Ballard & The Midnighters
0014 "Keep On Churnin'" Wynonie Harris
        0015 signal came up very nicely at this point, about an SIO 232 with signal peaks of S7 on the meter.
0016 Moonlight Radio ID, into "Silent George" Myra Johnson
0019 "Long John Blues" Dinah Washington
0022 "Mountain Oysters" Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis
        0024 possible CW of the letter V. I'm guessing this wasn't Moonlight Radio.
0026 "My Man Stands Out" Julia Lee (this might have started a bit earlier, but signal took a fade 0025)
        0024-30 Getting QRM from peskies.
0027 "Toy Bell" The Bees (sounds like "My Dingaling" however)
0030 Moonlight radio ID, "thank you all for listening." OFF

Antenna: 40m dipole, 20-17-15 meter fan dipole. One of N. Tesla's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.
