S3-S5 signal heard via the Cape May County, New Jersey, SDR ...

0038 UTC: Usual female host with ID and frequency announcement and then talking about cipher keys coming via an upcoming SSTV transmission.
0040 UTC: SSTV transmissions of letter and number keys, which came out pretty distorted, thanks to the noise on the frequency and short breaks in the transmitter.
0043 UTC: YL announcer: "That was the key. Use it wisely."
0044 UTC: "Heavy Scene" by Meg Lee Chin. The transmitter's still switching on and off in short bursts at times.
0048 UTC: YL with email address and mentioning special eQSL before giving ID again, then "Caravan" by Spiral Rhythm.
0054 UTC: The song's still going, but the transmitter's really struggling to stay on the air.
0057 UTC: YL host with ID and frequency announcement again, then "Chasing the Circle" by Spiral Rhythm.
0100 UTC: YL host with ID again and then telling a story set in 1947 in a small Pennsylvania town. It goes on to involve shortwave and a cryptic transmission. The signal's mostly coming in at S3 now with some increased fading.
0103 UTC: The host gave a warning about another SSTV transmission coming up, then the SSTV transmission was sent.
0104 UTC: The host gave a shout-out to HFU and thanked listeners for reception reports. She then started a story about a construction company building highways and other things in 1969. Still some interruptions in the signal and audio at times.
0106 UTC: ID again into "Trust" by Megadeth.

Thanks for another entertaining program, Free Spirit Radio!

For some reason SoundHound (it like Shazam) couldn’t ID the music, never heard this type of music before

35453 in Wyomissing.  Music suffers because of the 3000 Hertz bandwidth.

Very poor in western New York, SINPO - 11111, very noisy

0120z   "Free Spirit Radio", fortunately I heard the ID, but music and other talk very difficult to hear.  Seemed to go off around 0131z.
