0150 S9 Good signal here with "The Lifting" REM
0156 "The Great Beyond" REM
0159 "Bang And Blame" REM
0204 "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" REM
0207 "Star 69" REM
0218 "Lightnin' Hopkins" REM, then ID, "Strange" REM
Since they play nothing but REM, sure this isn't WREM rather than WREN?

Poor reception here in Masset, 100 km south of Ketchikan, AK.  Mind you, still almost 4 hours until local sunset (05:21...that's 10:21 PM in these northern latitudes!).  As I listen more, perhaps a little better.

Tuned in at 0142utc on Barrington Hill IL sdr, fair/poor signal with some selective fading, soft rock music and ballads, nice program,

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
