A very good SIO 444 signal this morning, strong enough to open the filters wide.

Sounds like an Elvis medley in progress at 1608 UTC tune-in.  S7 in NY, nice audio.

This kept me company for 3 hours this afternoon while working from home.  I really enjoyed hearing some of those alternative versions of songs, a very nice selection of music.  Thanks!  Gang of Four "At Home He's a Tourist" at 2028 UTC, nice to hear that on the shortwave!  Andy Gill's guitar sounds great!

It was great while it lasted; during The Stooges "1969" at 2108 the band went long  >:(
