Just booted the SDR and found 6960u, Hotel California right now at 0144z, sounding good here with a 8 kHz wide SSB signal(!)  Dr. Benway with ID at 0146z - great to hear you back on the airwaves sir!

0149z Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin' Sounding good here about S9 on peaks.
0151z A few bars of 'American Women' then a whoops from the good Doctor.  About 4-5 KHz 9KHz audio!  Thanks for the shoutout!
0201z Benway back on the mic, then into Aerosmith's 'Dream On' (Great track, BTW)
0206z Benway back on the mic, real hard to make out, music is doing better.  Props seem to be down at the minute too, hoping for a rebound.
0207z Steppenwolf 'Born To Be Wild'
0211z Queen 'We Are The Champions'
0214z Sounding a little better on the mic now.  I was straining to hear you, then 'Sweet Child O' Mine' nearly knocked me outta the chair.  Starting to get some rolling fades now.
0223z Benway lamenting he can't find any of his stories, might have to write some new material.  Into ZZ Tops 'La Grange'
0227z Benway thinking of wrapping it up, into 'Spirit of Radio'
0234z Benway with email ID's, wishing everyone a nice weekend and hope to hear a lot of pirates.  QRT

Sounds like someone built a new phasing exciter ;)  Sounds real nice on peaks.

I was lamenting the other day that I haven't heard you in a while.  Diggin' in the fridge for something cold and ready to settle in for a while.

Thanks for the show!
