Bearly audible in the UK at 0132 UTC with the Grundig Concertboy of mine - un-modded, I'd like to add!

Picked up enough to go to AM mode at 0200 UTC whilst playing American Pie. Not sure if anyone else got him in AM.

Talking by XFM around 0207 UTC.

S9 here, excellent audio. Dead Mau5 song followed by Jimi Hendrix 'Star Spangled Banner' @ 0139z.
ID and email, then into '4th of July' by Soundgarden @ 0144z

S8 @ 0204 with ID.  Going into a 3 song set where he wants listeners to figure out the theme of the song titles/artists.....

Sounding really good here in the Boston burbs at 0145 UTC. S9 with peaks S9+10, some typical summer noise, grunge rock song (Soundgarden?). Smashing Pumpkins (or some Billy project) at 0149.

SID, Email address and introduction
(missed song while I was binging up email)

We've had horrendous thunderstorms this week, so QRN is pretty bad. you are a consistent S9+10 to S9+20
Your audio is always very professionally sounding - excellent tone range for shortwave. I've always like your "conversational" style.


SID - 0211
Billy Idol - "White Wedding"
0215 - I recognize it, but I don't know the name

I just tuned in at 0335z - signal is S6 or so over some light static on the band.  Yes, audio is great as usual.  Getting ready to sign-off now.
