0102 Just tuning in, nice signal here in Colorado. Song is "Pedestrian At Best" Courtney Barnett per Shazam. Thanks for the show!
0105 "Fly Me Away" Goldfrapp
0109 "Bomb Drop" Less Than Jake
0112 YL voice with heavy British accent gave station ID, but I didn't understand it. Into "Sherri Is A Stoner" Third Eye Blind
0116 "I Need Never Get Old" Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats (Denver represent, yo. I know Nate's wife.)
0120 "Lightning" The Glorious Sons
0124 YL back, sounds like she said Groundwave Radio. Gave a rundown of the last few songs played, into "Kiss This" The Struts
0127 "Feel It Still" Portugal, The Man
0130 YL with ID, still couldn't make it out. Song ID's, then off.

Thanks for the show!

SDR recording catch
0038 Sign on, Very distorted audio, extremely overmodulated based on the waterfall.
0043 Fixed the modulation issue, much better audio now. ID "Brownie Radio, 6955 kHz", sounded like a synthesized voice.
0043 "Cold To See Clear"
0046 Dead air with occasional periods of hum, etc.
0049 ID with distorted audio.
0050 ID with better audio, "Cold To See Clear" again.
0055 "Hotel Anywhere"
0058 "You Are Killing Me"
0110 "Bomb Drop"
0114 ID, "Sherri Is A Stoner"
0117 "I Need Never Gets Old"
0120 "Lightning"
0124 ID
0128 "Feel It Still"
0131 ID and then off.

Thanks for the show!
