Poor to fair reception through the noise directly here northeast of Seattle ...

0022 UTC: "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0023 UTC: "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.
0028 UTC: Female-voiced ID: "You are listening to Spacebar Radio." Another announcement followed but was lost in the noise.
0028 UTC: "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC. It's still audible up here near Seattle, but the SDR in Adair Village, Oregon, is getting good reception of this one.
0032 UTC: Sounded like the signal went off or the music stopped, then "Thunderstuck" returned for a moment, then off again?
0035 UTC: Back with "What is Love" by Haddway.
0040 UTC: Female-voiced ID again, but this time it was down in the noise, followed after a pause by "Baby Blue" by Badfinger.
0044 UTC: "Father Christmas" by The Kinks (one of my very favorite holiday songs).
0049 UTC: "Roundabout" by Yes. The signal's really fading out here now.
0055 UTC: The music's peaking at very audible levels again between fades.
0058 UTC: "Take On Me" by A-ha, then a sudden stop, ID again, then more talking, and back to "Take On Me."
0103 UTC: Female-voiced ID: "You are STILL listening to Spacebar Radio." She then said something else I didn't catch.
0106 UTC: "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago.

Thanks for the broadcast, Spacebar Radio!

Tuned in around 0056 and I think I heard a bit of audio way down. Not strong enough to try recording, but if station stays on the air longer, I'll jump back after I finish recording some of Liquid R
