2300 Faint audio coming through.

[Ct Yankee]

2305z Music coming through a little better now.
2307z Reception up to fair - maybe Rolling Stones?
2309z Reception up to good  - OM with "Oh man" after blues song, then gone.
2311z Reception up to excellent, "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone"  in front of audience - OM Band leader introducing members "Maxwell on Piano.  My name is Freddie King". Incredible reception, sounds like you are right here.
2317z With great reception went to 1936 Zenith Console 8S154 with 3 feet of copper wire inside, sounds like a music hall.  Thanks for broadcast. 
2318z "Age of Aquarius" The Fifth Dimension
2323z VORW ID  (Sinatra "Moonlight Serendade" will be played  !), frequencies.  Reception simply superb.
2339z "Moonlight Serenade" The Chairman of the Board
2340z Reception of VORW much better than 7490 am 2100z on May 17
2349z "Winners" Delicate Steve
2352z "Yellow" Coldplay
0001z "Paint it Black" The Rolling Stones
0005z  "Who'll Stop the Rain?" CCR

6880 KHz 5/19/2018 Carrier noted about 2200z  Weak at first, but getting stronger as we get darker.

2352z Coldplay 'Yellow'
2358z OM hearing ..."dot com"..."shortwave report"...  lots of noise here, even though carrier holding a fairly steady S9.
0003z Rolling Stones  'Paint It Black'
0005z CCR 'Who'll Stop The Rain'
0014z OM talk, then into Heart 'Barracuda'
0022z OM Talk, "...gmail.com we'll see you next week.." into Death Cab For Cutie 'Crooked Teeth'
0109z Eve 6 'Here's To The Night'


Thanks for the show!

Weak signal also in Ukraine. SINPO = 25432.

[aquabat]

s9+6-15 with s8 being noise floor here, nice jangly audio, barely any signal fades. unfortunately sitting between 2 local qrm blobs, signal is wide enough to overcome it. Thanks for the show.
