Barely above S3 noise floor here, but not bad considering the distance - using USB side of ISB mode.

03:01z Off

Band Aid Radio 6950 CUSB 02:49z-03:01z 10-24-25

A fairly good selection of tunes unfortunately hampered by some audio issues (squeals and distortion) during the IDs and greetz.

Here's the full hour:
