2113 UTC Soviet Anthem followed by DW chatting about KIPM and shoutouts to Chris S and me (thanks DW!)
2116 UTC "Bee-Sting"-The Wombats
(Solid S9 here and sounding good!)
Hmmm......what happened?
2123 UTC Back up again with DW and music  :)
2126 UTC RFW jingle, into "The Cold Wind"-Greta Van Fleet
2134 UTC "Love My Way"-Rogue Wave
2138 UTC "A Change In Weather"-Rose Droll (Don't usually comment on the songs played, but that one is a winner! Nice!)
2142 UTC "Viaje Astral"-Dumbo Gets Mad featuring Venice
2146 UTC DW chat, into "Bridges"-Erthlings
2151 UTC RFW jingle, into "Dark Window"-Mass Gothic
2152 UTC Damn band dropped out......from S9 to barely moving the S-meter in less than a minute.....  >:(
2253 UTC Just checked back again and signal is back up here! Very strange propagation this evening...."Run The Road"-Santigold
2255 UTC "Camelot"-Skating Polly
2258 UTC DW chat....ran out of music..., into "Alright"-Shitkid
2301 UTC Signal dropped out once again deep into the noise.....damn!

2126 very weak copy here, so I'm using Chris' Kiwi SDR for a fair copy there. Thanks for the show comrades!
2135 switched to Elida OH kiwi SDR, strong signal there.
2146 signal coming up in Denver, but Elida SDR still much better.
2222 still a good signal in Elida

Just as some people seem to be losing the signal, this just amped up big here out west at 2247 UTC. Hearing music with a fair signal well above the noise, except for this annoying interference whistle on the frequency.

Update: This was short-lived. By 2300 UTC, either off or back deep under the noise.

But wait, it's back to audible, barely, as of 2308 UTC.
