Reception Report #5: May 25. Western Michigan

I'm curious about what date this one was... it notes some portions audio on 6850 Pirate Radio Boston at 06:15... however... Pirate Radio Boston was only transmitting on May 27.... so I'm assuming this was May 27?  Either that... or he was picking up something else on 6850 that wasn't us... I'll have to listen to his recording more closely....

Reception notes

5130 WBCQ:      
Very faint signal detected (02:38 in recording).  Gave up on this frequency pretty quickly.

6850 Boston:
Mostly static, although the vocal portions came through amid the static (06:15 in the audio recording)

9620 Moosebrunn:  
Signal not as strong as Nauen or Miami, but still could hear the program pretty well

9690 Nauen and 11580 WRMI
These frequencies gave the best results.  Some fading in and out, but overall the stability of the signal was good.
