0028: sounded like distorted music more than some random noise for a minute
0029: silent, carrier still present, maybe tuning up for broadcast
0034: music back, can't ID, too weak for now
- "Techno Fan" - Wombats; using audio from Shrewsbury SDR to ID song

- maybe this is Wombats Radio back again; Thanks Quasar for narrowing in exact freq.
0043: suddenly EOT
0054: had to disconnect antenna due to lightning; now back on air 6873 USB
0132: Note that someone changed the ID to Wombats Radio, but OM gave ID as "Radio Donovan" just before EOT

Thank you for the show!
