Poor reception on the DX-398.
Switched to the Westminster, MD, KiwiSR: SINPO 45344

04:24 UTC "Every Breath You Take," by The Police.
04:26 UTC Male speaker. "Here on the shortwave... This is the last generation... I am Brother Stair."
04:28 UTC "Crazy,: by Gnarls Barkley.
04:31 UTC Male speaker: "That was Cazy because I am crazy."
04:32 UTC "We have more music for you here on 6925 USB."
04:32 UTC Song.

Sounds like Brother Stair and Radio 69. I like these later in the evening broadcasts!

VG signal, but static crashes and a lot of atmospherics. Not sure, but possibly another REM song
"'Let Her Cry' right here on 6925 . . ."
"I am a total predator and I am a . . ."
Eric Carmen "Hungry Eyes," complaining about propagation tonight, Paul Anka "Put Your Head on My Shoulder"
I haven't heard any IDs as "Radio 69"--everything since I tuned in at 0447 has been "right here on 6925" or "6925 kiloherz U-S-B"

Brother Stair gave it away for me.

You were a solid S7. Turns out I had a loose connection and that's why I only had an S5 at first (darned cats).

Shazam had no problem identifying songs, not that I needed it for most of them.

Sorry I missed the shout outs... my son wanted to show me something on Minecraft for a few minutes. LOL

Via a recording, I first heard audio at 0401, then stronger at 0402 with Give Me Some Water.  Brother Stair commented regularly, once assuring us that he really was dead.  Nice selection of music on a night when the noise was very variable and annoying.  There was an SSTV transmission in Scottie 2 at 0512, but it was unusable.  25432 through-out.
