Listening via Berlin, Maryland, SDR ... good signal.

0046 UTC: "Light my Fire (live version)" by The Doors.
0048 UTC: "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
0056 UTC: "Billion Dollar Babies" by Alice Cooper.
0100 UTC: "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp.
0104 UTC: ID with "Radio 48" repeated over air raid siren. Then other IDs.
0105 UTC: UnID song.
0108 UTC: Radio 48 ID again, then "Fly" by Sugar Ray. Now listening via the Northern Utah SDR and it's LOUD. I also can hear it directly at times on my radio near Seattle.
0113 UTC: ID again, into "Pretend We're Dead" by L7; sounds like it's being mixed with "Pump up the Volume" by M/A/R/R/S.
 * * * *
0140 UTC: ID, then techno-dance version of "Creep" by Radiohead. The audio's coming in pretty steadily now at my radio here.
0146 UTC: "Radio 48 in the Mix" ID into a remix of Nirvana's "Come As You Are."
0152 UTC: ID again, into "Sweet Dreams" remix/cover (vocal doesn't sound like the original Eurythmics). Signal continues to gain strength here near Seattle; up to fair.
0158 UTC: ID into "Doin' Time (Zeds Dead Summer Grime remix)" by Sublime.

Thanks for all the tunes and the BIG signal!

Tuned in at 0124utc, fair/poor signal, unid song sung by woman,
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
