2302 Just tuned in, about an SIO 444
2311 Back on in USB mode, asked for reports to the HFU, ID (hope I copied it correctly) and off.

Any chance of an eQSL?  ;D

Pretty decent signal. Tuned past it to start recording 6964, then came down to the computer to check if either station IDed. I guess it signed off in the meantime, according to Alternative3d

2311 - Tuned in just in time to hear the DJ say" Catch you later....."
OM said he would check HF Underground.......

2339 - "Little Honda" - The Hondells
2340 - OM behind the mic w/ ID "WJAN" Discussion about over driving his amp on AM and needing to pull a few things together to continue.
2342 - "This is WJAN and we will catch you later". OFF

Very nice signal here in Northern Ohio. Testing in USB. Sounds good.

Well darn. I have a very good 3 minute 55 second recording of your broadcast if you would like.

Back on, I'm hearing it via Burke, Virginia, SDR ...

2340 UTC: "Little Honda" by The Hondells, then OM host gives ID and talks about overheating his transmitter previously in AM mode.
2342 UTC: "This is WJAN, so we will catch you later." And then off.

This signal sounded LOUD and clear via the Burke SDR!

Very good S8 signal. Took a few minutes to find this log. Great Shondells song. Thanks for the show.
