Seeing an S5 signal and hearing fair audio through the noise via the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland ...

2015 UTC: Upbeat instrumental music; sounds like something Mix Radio International would play.

I'm now listening via the SDR in Traverse City, Michigan, which is getting an S5 to S7 signal and better audio than the East Coast SDRs right now ...

2024 UTC: "Mas Que Nada" by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66.
2027 UTC: "Southern Style" by Jeffery Smith.
2034 UTC: "Che Star" by Dellasollounge.
2039 UTC: "Killing Me Softly With His Song (DJ Essenzaa Unofficial Remix)" by The Fugees & DJ Essenzaa.
2044 UTC: "Ready or Not" by Galuka. Noise levels are creeping up at this SDR now.
2050 UTC: "My Girl (Extended Mix)" by No Hopes.

Thanks for the music this afternoon!

Weak at 2045, but the band noise is low, so I'd call it fair. Poppy, international-sounding music
