Was strong in GA, could not stick around to listen unfortunately. Signal was topping S9 here.

Here, too, with an excellent signal. Audio seemed to be breaking up in at least one spot. Have a recording if the op's interested.
Thanks for the show & please QSL...

Noted here with Guitar singing story teller, mentions of a person named "Jack Johnson" Singer sounded a bit like Arlo "Alice's Restaurant" Guthrie on speed. I think it was the HMS Titanic, not the USS... just sayin'

She was actually RMS Titanic (Royal Mail Ship)

... mentions of a person named "Jack Johnson" ...

Probably a reference to boxer Jack Johnson, who was the world heavyweight champ in 1912, the year the Titanic sank. Johnson was newsworthy for several reasons that year, including a bizarre law passed by the US Congress banning interstate distribution of movies about prizefighting - presumably to impede distribution of a documentary film about Johnson's 1910 defeat of former champ James Jeffries.

Sorry I wasn't able to catch this broadcast - propagation didn't favor Gopher Stomp. I'm hoping Sealord or Chis snagged a recording.
