S10+ signal and good audio heard via the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland ...

2215 UTC: "This is Radio Clash" by The Clash ("Radio Clash" is my social media handle on Bluesky).
2218 UTC: Radio 48 IDs into "The Spirit of Radio" by Rush.
2222 UTC: Radio 48 ID and announcement that Radio 48's being relayed by MRI, then "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons.
2227 UTC: Radio 48 and MRI IDs again into "On My Radio" by The Selecter. I sense a theme here.
2230 UTC: IDs again into "Radio, Radio" by Elvis Costello & The Attractions (early Elvis Costello is one of my faves).
2232 UTC: Radio 48 and MRI IDs again into "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio? by The Ramones. (I apparently tuned in at the right time, as most of these past several songs are on my personal playlists.)
2236 UTC: Radio 48 and MRI IDs into "Radio Free Europe" by R.E.M. (also a great classic; this sounds like an extended version of the song).
2242 UTC: "Mexican Radio" by Wall of Voodoo (again, just a great '80s song).
2246 UTC: IDs again into "Capital Radio" by The Clash (thanks for playing another one by The Clash!).
2248 UTC: Just obliterated now by a big ute or other noise-producing signal. Ugh.
2251 UTC: Found it (and the ID waterfall) on 6932 USB with "Love by the Hour" by The Weekend Blues Band.

Thanks for all the great music this afternoon!
