Ahh thats the carrier I am hearing, bits of audio. To far down in the noise--and next to a big noise blob here in GA 2148

Gone at 2202

Got this in Chicago. SINPO 25321
Fast fades from the noise floor up to S6, but steady improvement. No ID here yet, but catching Ted Nugent's "Dog Eat Dog"
Down in the noise from 2145z, then fade-ups again around 2200z. Did hear the op say "transmitter test" at 2200z.

Never did catch an ID. Appears off now. Thanks!

Really nice signal here, but mod sounds low. Tuned in while hearing Fearless talking, then into Nugent "Dog Eat Dog." Great to hear Fearless again!

2159 ran downstairs to the SX-96 & the Joe Cocker sounds great on this receiver. Not sure if he adjusted the audio or if the SX-96 just sounds that much better.

Thanks for the show
Andrew

I have this at 2152z. Signal peaking at S9+10. Some kind of skit about going to the bathroom in cyberspace. Audio is a little low and thin.
