VG signal with "Chicken Dance," said would be back shortly. Off around 1309, but back a few min later w/"Chicken Dance" into alt rock. Heard " . . . broadcasting service." Maybe Thunder Chicken? Mode seems kinda weird. I'm getting it best in RTTY mode on the R8, but AM & USB are also copyable. I guess this is some sort of reduced-carrier AM?

Signal dropped significantly just before Styx "Mr. Roboto" at 1322 & has stayed down. Maybe an amp was turned off or the op reduced power?
