S10+ signal and good, loud audio heard via the Traverse City, Michigan, SDR ...

0107 UTC: "Dear Mr. Fantasy" by Tesla.
0111 UTC: Male voice on mic said something really quick, then "Ball of Confusion" cover by Tesla.
0115 UTC: Guy on mic real quick again; I didn't catch what he said, then "Ænema" by Tool.
0122 UTC: Beginning of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by Eric Idle, then off for a moment.
0123 UTC: Back with "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by Eric Idle & Monty Python.
0127 UTC: ID (sounded like it was for Thunder Chicken, but I can't be sure), then man doing barnyard animal noises, then what sounded like a ham conversation talking about playing more Tool or Genesis, etc.
0130 UTC: "The Pot" by Tool.

Thanks for the music!
