SINPO= 44444, very strong signal and clear frequency.

001- "Think" by Kaleida.
004- "After Dark" by Mr. Kitty.
008- "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies.
011- "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles!
023- Had to step away, but back and AC still booming in with "One Stage Before" by Al Stewart.
024- Silence, then off about 30 seconds later.

SOUNDS GREAT AC!!! Clear and crisp.

Thanks for the test AC. Cool tunes.

Good signal here in NE MA, but still need hedaphones to get better audibility. Playing dance/electronica, and at 0008, playing Sugar, Sugar by The Archies. Good signal, audio is clear, if a bit on the low, muted side. Mild-moderate noise and haven't heard any SW interference yet.

Nothing but tons of noise. Had to shut down and disconnect antenna due to area storms and tornado watches.
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Noise floor here is virtually ZERO!  All other stations are OK.  Audio is low.  Losing Daylight.  Maybe Night time will bring better signal.  Can barely make out the audio.  0036UTC  Also used USB.  meh!
