SINPO=45444, but tricky sounding audio, so music is tough to ID.

041- YL with UK accent-- "Station break...the first half of tonight's program was brought to you by" a close-up wildlife predator photography service. IDs station "broacasting on 6953 Upper Side Band." Going to run a waterfall image sent in by DangerKitty. "We're not sure what the image is, but the weirder, the better...Keep your eyes on the waterfall," the IDs again.
042- Data.
043- YL with UK accent IDs again, then says that they're resending the image. "Keep one eye on the waterfall."
043- Data.
044- Music resumes.
All reception direct-- From my location, radio and antenna.
QTH New Hampshire (70 miles north of Boston).
Tecsun S-8800 and Kenwood R-2000, with about 135 feet of wire thrown up in the trees.
eQSLs most appreciated to molvaniapoacher@gmail.com.
