Really strong signal with a really weird commercial at 0226 for some kind of nutrition supplement with estrogen in it.

After a break in transmission  a song called "All My Ex's live in Texas" then an ad for "Inversion Therapy"

0244 S3 with very faint audio into NYC.
All reports given are direct from my station in NYC.
Main toys are a Flex 3000 SDR, Icom 756 Pro II and other assorted odds & ends. They may be older, but work very well for me.
100 ft random wire (all my city lot allows)

Very good signal heard directly here near Seattle with low to moderate noise ...

0240 UTC: Vintage country song that I can't identify.
0242 UTC: Old male-announced ad for a pawn shop.
0243 UTC: "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" by The Highwaymen.
0246 UTC: Another ad - this one sounds like a parody one, followed by another ad or two.
0248 UTC: "Queen of Hearts" by Juice Newton. A while ago, there was a station that played rock music with a DJ and fake ads in between that turned out to be audio from "Grand Theft Auto." This sounds a lot like a more country music-oriented version of that.
0251 UTC: San Andreas Telephone ad (that seems to confirm what I typed above, as "GTA" takes place in San Andreas), then a female DJ talking into "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read" by Asleep at the Wheel.
0254 UTC: Another parody ad. The DJ is back, chatting about harmonicas, into "Three Cigarettes in An Ashtray" by Patsy Cline. That was stopped after a couple moments, then there was another San Andreas mention into a rock station format.
0257 UTC: Back to the country music for a moment, then silence, then EDM music for a moment, then more silence.
0258 UTC: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics.
0301 UTC: "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds.
0306 UTC: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears.
0307 UTC: Off mid-song ... then showed up at 6985 USB.
0309 UTC: "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
0313 UTC: "One Way or Another" by Blondie.
0316 UTC: "Down Under" by Men at Work.
0319 UTC: Now at 6985 LSB.
0320 UTC: "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls.
0321 UTC: Now back in USB.
0324 UTC: "Foil" by "Weird" Al Yankovic. Thanks for keeping 43 meters weird!
0327 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the broadcast, whoever you are, and the very nice signal out West here!

An extremely weak signal here in MD on the SDR recording, which showed a carrier on these frequencies at most of these times, so it seems to have been mostly in AM mode.
