Started listening at 0100 UTC but a barely audible signal here. Heard a country tune (Marty Robbins - El Paso?) but can't really make out any more.

Listening here in Eastern Ohio, Started at 00059 with El Paso, some Jackson Browne. Great signal at start, very slight atmospheric noise, then a 0123 signal took a drastic fade. Lost signal completely at 0126 , the band must have shut down. Thanks for the show.
