Fair reception directly on my radio; I've got better, stronger audio on an S7 signal via the Northern Utah SDR ...

0225 UTC: Man talking, but it's hard to understand through the noise.
0226 UTC: Man talking about Russia and Ukraine, China and Taiwan, the Department of War, etc.
0229 UTC: Now talking about "unrest" in Portland and Chicago, etc., and recent mass shootings.
0234 UTC: Still talking about recent news events; this is definitely the same guy we heard with a similar report a week or so ago.
0236 UTC: Another man gave a Band Aid Radio ID, then "Take It Easy" by Eagles.
0240 UTC: "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns & Roses.
0246 UTC: "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. Now listening via the Southern Alberta, Canada, SDR.
0250 UTC: "I Want You" by Savage Garden.
0253 UTC: "Foil" by "Weird" Al Yankovic.
0255 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the program and the music!
