'Under my Wheels' by Alice Cooper at 0014

1/28/12, 6925 AM, 0020z: Haven't caught an ID yet, but so far heard Hendrix "Red House", ZZ Top "Tube Snake Boogie", 3 Doors Down "Kryptonite"
0032z: Radio Ronin Shortwave ID, Billy Idol "White Wedding", BOC "Don't Rear the Feaper", Ten Years After "I'd Love to Change the World"
0051z: Beatles or John Lennon, can't quite make it out, faded to barely audible.  Maybe "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite"?
0101z: "Turn the Page" juuusssttt barely audible, sounds like Bob Seger version.

Just using a portable on a whip indoors, pretty good signal peaks despite the usual household RFI. Switching between Magnavox D2935 and Sony 2010, interesting that each picked up this signal a little differently. Not sure if it's the signal or better conditions, but this is the best I've heard Ronin in awhile.

Recorder catch:

Same details as others - decent signal with slight fade at times.  Receiver was parked on 6925 USB.
