S6 here, fady.

2103 Carrier on/off
2104 B52s - "Channel Z"
2116 Foghat - "Slow Ride"
2147 shouts and talk about the first concert he saw(?) - a bit of local QRM obscured this
2148 sounds like VU - "Sweet Jane" - live version

Thanks Z!

S-9 +20 here in the snowy Merrimack Valley with Rick Derrigner's Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo at 2112 UTC.
Nice audio!  Some slow deep fades now around 2130 but still a good signal!

Maybe Channel Z I am hearing at 2252, along with a het, roughly 100 hz away, 'Summerplace" decent signal into GA, lots of selective fade. "The last channel you'll ever need----Channel Z" at 2253

The het dropped off at 2254.

2348z Channel Z ID, Nice S7 signal in NH.  I've been listening for an hour or so. Started out way down in the noise but has been steadily improving.
