Fair to good amid noise via the Atwater, Ohio, SDR ...

2350 UTC: "Junior's Eyes" by Black Sabbath.
2356 UTC: "The Road Behind" by GWAR, then suddenly off and moved to 6961 AM after the song started.
0002 UTC: "The Drapery Falls" by Opeth.
0007 UTC: Music suddenly stopped and Sternradio's bilingual announcement about the transmitter smoking was repeated several times. Then the signal jumped to 5954 AM.

2356z - Music. ~6947.1KHz. SIO 433. ~S8 peaks via my Web-888 SDR and 148' LoG. USB sync tuning. UTE on the low side.
2358z - Moved to ~6961.3KHz. SIO 433. AM sync tuning. Some static crashing and band noise but generally copyable.
0007z - Sternradio ID. "Transmitter is smoking..."
0008z - Moved to ~6954.05KHz. AM sync tuning. "Transmitter is smoking..." into music.
0124z - Sign off into repeating tone.

Via a recording.  They were all over the place!  6952, then 6947.7, then 6963.3, 6954.3 where they seemed to settle.  55443 in Wyomissing.  OTA at 0125.
