Good, solid signal via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR ...

0105 UTC: OM voice with ID over the music.
0109 UTC: "We're Ready" by Boston.
0118 UTC: OM voice with distortion talking about the last song, giving ID, and then introducing the next song by Chicago, "Feelin' Stronger Every Day."
0122 UTC: "Swlabr" by Cream.
0124 UTC: Distorted OM voice again with song information, then ID, followed by "You're listening to the best radio station ..." and then an old ad for "Goldfinger" featuring the theme song.
0125 UTC: OM voice giving email address and website into "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes (good song from my college days!), which was dedicated to Crater Eddie.
0130 UTC: OM voice with V-Sky ID into a Rush song.
0134 UTC: "Clown Show" by Ednaswap.
0139 UTC: OM voice again talking about the last song and Ednaswap, then giving ID into Creedence Clearwater Revival's "(Wish I Could) Hideaway."

0149 UTC: OM voice talking about David Gilmour's newest album and his chat on YouTube with Rick Beato. The email address was repeated into "Sweet Dreams" by Yes. Interference and noise really hitting the signal via this SDR.

Thanks again for the broadcast, V-Sky!
