Via a recording.  Primed by other reporters, I replayed my SDR recording and 2325 found very faint music which never rose above the level of "unusable."  the 2357 SSTV in Robot 36 synched, but other than a very rough "MAD," had no usable detail.

Very close to a "no report" report from a listener in Wyomissing.
