Fair but noisy via the Northern Utah SDR ...

0103 UTC: "Tragedy" by Bee Gees.
0107 UTC: "Good Times" by Chic.
0110 UTC: OM voice talking about tonight's disco party; hard to hear in the noise. Then "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire
0113 UTC: Can't hear the signal anymore.
0115 UTC: "Y.M.C.A." by Village People.
0119 UTC: OM again with quick chatting, then "Disco Duck (Pt. 1 Vocal)" by Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots. (Still not sure how this got to No. 1 on the charts when I was a young kid.)
0122 UTC: OM talking about tonight's disco party into "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by The Gap Band.
0127 UTC: OM on the mic again, then "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer.

Thanks for the disco party music, Voice of the Sky!

0143z - Music. SIO 444+. ~S7 via Web-888 SDR and 148' LoG. Still some fading but an easy copy. Strong modulation.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
