Nice clear, but weak signal into northern Canada this afternoon. Music, with clear I.D. of "... Radio (?) shortwave". Hopefully the signal will build stronger before they shut down. Great to hear a famous pirate!

As a test, I took my Sony 7600G outside, and with just the whip antenna, I was able to hear Ronin, with pretty solid reception.

Unheard @ my suboptimal location in Cali, however sounding great via Illinois Sdr Remote site. Heard and caught copy of Oye Como Va guitar solo. Thanks Ronin!

Radio Ronin putting a solid signal into NH this evening, slow fades from S9+ down to S7 but mostly holding around S9.

2340z Pink Floyd - High Hopes
2343z Allman Brothers - Melissa
2347z Jackson Browne - Load-Out/Stay
2357z ID and off

Thanks for the show... Here's a clip from the last tune with IDs at the end

2305 Tuned in to a song, possibly by Dire Straits - was this "The Man's Too Strong"?
2309 Floyd "Wearing the Inside Out"
2316 ID, Santana "Oye Como Va"

In VERY solid at S9+10 to +20, 55545 w/ only very shallow fading until 2318.
Then it took the deep fade to below an S5 noise level, and is not audible now at 2321.

Thanks Ronin! Wish I got here earlier!
