S7 signal and fair to good audio heard via the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland, amid moderate to high noise levels ...

2022 UTC: "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers.
2025 UTC: Art ranting about how round pumpkins are getting and how RF may be to blame.
2029 UTC: "This is Halloween" song.
2033 UTC: Art talking now about Halloween-appropriate films, starting with "Donny Darko" and how it relates to the 43-meter band. He then discussed the radio-related themes in "Beetlejuice," "Carrie," and "Firestarter."
2038 UTC: "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr.
2042 UTC: Art's telling the story about when he heard a weird show of his own from the future. I heard this one on the earlier broadcast of this station.

Thanks for the rants, Art Bell!
