I first saw the carrier around 0355 UTC. Modulation started later, but not sure when. Best on the west coast. Not seeing it on the east coast (yet).

0406 - Jazz
0407 - Beach Boys, "Surfin' USA"
0415 - No joy copying at home. SINPO 24242 on the KFS kiwi SDR in California. Roughly similar on KPH also in California.
0423 - The Beatles, "Twist and Shout"
0426 - The Doors, "Break on Through"
0428 - Led Zeppelin, "Bring it on Home". Song interrupted by girls screaming.

A recording (poor copy) around this time from VE6ARS SDR in Alberta: https://voca.ro/1h46FwfWw438
Another recording (better copy) from W0AY SDR in Montana: https://voca.ro/13np8fX0yTPu

0433 - A musical interlude transitioning to Jimi Hendrix, "Let Me Stand Next to your Fire"
0436 - Heard the opening note of next Jimi Hendrix song then carrier off suddenly.

Not really audible at my radio as of 0420 UTC, but a bit better down the West Coast at the KFS SDR. Sounds like oldies amid the noise as of 0420 UTC.
