S7 signal amid growing noise heard via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR ...

0141 UTC: "A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like)" by Aretha Franklin.
0143 UTC: Female voice with ID and email address, then "I Will Always Love You." I can't tell through the noise if it's a cover or not, but it's not the usual Whitney Houston version; this one's more acoustic.
0148 UTC: ID into "I Dreamed a Dream - Inspiration" by Susan Boyle.
0151 UTC: Female-voiced ID: "This is Radio Marlene, broadcasting in the pirate shortwave band." That was followed by "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon. The signal's down to S5 at times as noise on the band increases.
0155 UTC: Email address given again, then "Breakout" by Swing Out Sister (an underrated song from back in the day).
0159 UTC: ID again, then "I Put a Spell on You" by Annie Lennox.
0202 UTC: ID and female voice saying the broadcast's coming to an end, though some of that was lost in the noise.
0203 UTC: "There She Goes" by Sixpence None the Richer.
0206 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the program tonight, Radio Marlene!

Good in heavy static. Just tuned in at 0141 to '70s pop song with woman singer. Nice to hear R. Marlene again after quite a few years!

0151 "This is Radio Marlene, broadcasting in the pirate shortwave bands"
Carly Simon "You're So Vain"

"You're so Vain" 0150, good into NEPA SDR but audio not that great. When I was a kid and this song was new, I thought it said "wife of a clothespin."

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

I may be mistaken, but wasn't Radio Marlene one the infamous Giovanni Barabella's fake stations from 20 plus years ago? It seems to me he sent me a sticker for it way back when in his quest for QSL's from stations he never heard.
