SINPO=25232
2235- Sound effects, followed by CW.
2235- Oldies sounding mellow pop tune with YL choral vocals. In Spanish?
2238- OM with UK accent on the mic. Audio is a little muffled sounding, so hard to copy especially with QRN, although signal is decent.
2240- "It Might As Well Rain Until September" by Carole King.
2245- OM back on the mic. IDs, Weekend Music Radio.
2245- "It's Raining Again" by Supertramp.
2250- Back at the radio and hearing OM on the mic again.
2251- "Rising Sun" live by Medicine Head.

Now SINPO=45333, impressive!
2343- Advert for "The Pub," an Irish sports bar in Puerto Rico.
2345- Recorded ID with email address.
2345- Advert for something relating to Spanish language.
2346- Another "The Pub" advert.
2346- Advert for "The Crazy Horse" in Puerto Rico.
2346- Insurance advert, then a mention of weather.
2348- News coverage of riots in UK, with musical jingle for Grand Canary (?) station.
2349- OM from WMR back on the mic. Telling "a silly story" about a Scotsman buying something off of ebay and getting ripped off (a pinhole puncture in an airbag).

Ray,

This is Weekend Music Radio (or a relay thereof).  I started an Unid post in North American Pirates as it was coming in so well.  After a couple of others had posted, I heard the WMR ID.  Still being received very strong at 2355 UTC.
