Good signal in western New York

0202z  Electronic music of some kind
0203z  Distorted talk over the music (or maybe a second station?)
0215z  Music with phrase "dangerous place"
0217z  Female voice seemed to say Stern Radio, and it may be off now, though there's still a carrier

Waiting for something more IDable!

Listening via the Northern Utah SDR ...

0233 UTC: Fair amount of fading, but easily audible rock/industrial music heard.
0237 UTC: Sounds like a synthetic male voice talking; not really at an understandable level out west here, then more music, including "Rubber Glove Seduction" by Chris Connelly.
0249 UTC: Sounds like a mix of talking, then "Psychoburbia" by Dance or Die.
0256 UTC: Off?

** Now listening on 6960 AM both directly here near Seattle and via the Northern Utah SDR. The signal's very good and clear via the SDR. Here, near Seattle, it's fading in and out at a poor to fair audio level. **

0317 UTC: "Mechano Fraktur II" by Die Form.
0319 UTC: "Me I Funk" by KMFDM.
0327 UTC: "Geburt Einer Nation" by Laibach.
0331 UTC: "Mothersonne" by Download.
0336 UTC: Male and female synth voice announcements in English and German that the transmitter is smoking. That was followed by "Pleiadian Agenda" by Hanzel Und Gretyl.
0340 UTC: "F**k This Place" by GWAR.

Thanks for all the music, Sternradio, as well as for the signal that was making it out to the West Coast here tonight!

P.S.: I was sitting here a moment ago with my big Eton Elite Field across the room still on 6960, and suddenly the faint audio faded in really well and I could clearly hear the synth voice male and female announcements at 0352 UTC, followed by "Nsk" by Laibach, and then the signal signed off.

That's correct.  Moved to avoid utility station aka the licensed users of this spectrum.   8)
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.
