S5 signal and weak to fair audio heard via the SDR at Lodi, New York, with quite a bit of noise and fading at times ...

2237 UTC: Orson Welles, well into the "War of the Worlds" episode, talking about the battle at Grovers Mill, New Jersey, and how attacks from the alien beings and their tripods are spreading.
2254 UTC: Signal stronger now, though it's suffering interference from a Morse code transmission on an adjoining frequency.
2255 UTC: Moved to 5190 AM. Orson Welles still narrating.
2256 UTC: Suddenly off.
