1621 An OK signal, but I can't tell what the exact frequency is.
1656 Still a good signal, 6979.945 seems to work well.

1653 Smoke Gets in Your Eyes?
1657 Innuendo
1703 OM in German, eventually said "Moontrain" into the theme to Gone With The Wind
1708 segued into a song I don't know
1711 German OM mentioned Evergreen, I think, (nope, West End Girls) then intro'd the next song - Rough Boys
1723 OM back announced "On My Way to LA"

I too am having trouble pinpointing the frequency, which makes the audio hard to discern
Shrewsbury VT SDR
SINPO 35443

Just tuned in. Have it best at 6979.91. Not much above the noise here in North-Central, PA. SINPO: 25442. I'm on the AirSpy HF+ Discovery and a 40m end fed. Not clear enough to Shazam.

1727: German OM Speaking
1729: Sounds like industrial music.
1731: OM Speaking
1733: A metal song I should know. xD
1736: Fast guitar rock with a female singer.
1738: OM speaking over the music and transition into the next song opening with horns.
1744: Female vocals, syncopated drum beat.
1746: OM speaking over the music and next tune.
1748: Off, I think.

Thanks for the show!
