Treehouse SWL:
S9+ signal with good, solid audio but some fading and relatively low static/hiss levels heard via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR ...

1959 UTC: "Right in Time" by Lucinda Williams.
2002 UTC: "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" by Lucinda Williams.
2007 UTC: "2 Cool 2 to 4-Gotten" by Lucinda Williams. Some deeper fading now at times.
2011 UTC: "Drunken Angel" by Lucinda Williams. The signal's now back to peaking above S10 at times.
2015 UTC: Man on mic said (I think I got this correct): "49 4F 4E," followed by "It Never Rains in Southern California" by Albert Hammond.
2017 UTC: So, Google tells me this: "49 4F 4E in hexadecimal represents the string 'ION' in ASCII characters."
2019 UTC: "Fire on the Mountain" by The Marshall Tucker Band.

2034 UTC: The signal's still holding strong, now playing "Tullamore Dew" by Dan Fogelberg.
