Hearing Pink Floyd at 1605 UTC tune in, some fading noted. Nice to hear Dr. Detroit again! Love the frequency choice too...right on the edge of the 60 meter shortwave broadcast band.
1607 UTC - ID via Radio Illuminati
1608 UTC - more spacey music, hard to tell for sure...noisy S4 signal at the moment
1609 UTC - lots of QSB, sounding good on the peaks though
1615 UTC - signal has increased a bit, now S5 with stronger audio...significant QSB
1617 UTC - "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" now distinctly coming through the speakers!
1623 UTC - BIG signal increase, now up to S8, SIO 444, nice big AM audio
1633 UTC - back down a bit to S5...but modulation and audio are still top notch...just a bit more QSB and noise
1635 UTC - dropped down to S3, then back up to S5...not sure if we're losing propagation or just a deep fade
1638 UTC - Supertramp - Take The Long Way Home
1643 UTC - signal down even more...very deep fades :/
1645 UTC - down into the noise
