S9 signal and pretty good audio heard via the SDR at Fair Hill, Maryland, with quite a bit of fading at times ...

2133 UTC: "Lonely Avenue" by Van Morrison.
2139 UTC: "Ball & Chain" by Van Morrison.
2144 UTC: "In the Forest" by Van Morrison.
2149 UTC: "Till We Get the Healing Done" by Van Morrison.
2150 UTC: Male host faded down the music to give the ID, said he's using 20 watts on transmitter #2, and then he gave HFU shout-outs.
2151 UTC: "Till We Get the Healing Done" came back.
2157 UTC: Host on the mic with an ID again, then "Gloria" by Van Morrison.

Thanks for the broadcast, Ion Radio!
