Ball Smacker with a great signal and Janis Joplin. Great to catch the show tonight and thanks.

Golden Earring- Radar Love
ID and numerous email address announcements
Jerry Reed- East Bound and Down

Ball Smacker Radio still booming in measuring S9+10 with On The Road Again by Willie (and the boys) then into Ride Again Sally. Sounding good.
Little Deuce Coupe- The Beach Boys and then an ID
Who's That Lady?

Hi there, I get in here, but not seem to get in main chat.........   please help me equilibrium222@mail.com

Moderator Ray trying to untangle the mess...
First repeating the post because there were two stations included :

6955 USB  +  6960 AM at this moment [at 0106 UTC ] via Elida Ohio sdr.............. best greets from Patrick / Metallica / Belgium......... I do not seem to get in some kind of main chat  ???

Edit by Ray : more cleaning and moves needed....
At 0118, Metallica was trying something else, without adding new data
Later, two replies were of no help to him. (I delete those replies)

Hmmm a little car/driving theme forming here.

0125  I Can't Drive 55 - Sammy Hagar
0129  Brief ID announcement, then War - Lone Rider
0133  Life Is A Highway - Tom Cochrane

Great signal S9 +10 with static, Hillsborough NC SDR

0330  Hearing Low Rider by War again.  Much lower signal now.
