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

1853 UTC: "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins.
1855 UTC: "Give It Up" by KC and the Sunshine Band.
1900 UTC: "Just Another Night" by Mick Jagger.
1905 UTC: "Don't Get Me Wrong" by The Pretenders.
1909 UTC: "Everything I Own" by Boy George.
1913 UTC: "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure.
1916 UTC: Male-spoken ID: "The sound of ... music on shortwave. This is Mix Radio International." (Pretty sure he said "American music," even though we've also heard lots of British music so far during this broadcast.) That was followed by "Don't Be So Shy" by Moti Special.
1920 UTC: "She Works Hard for the Money" by Donna Summer. During the song, at 1922 UTC, the station moved up to 6960 AM.
1925 UTC: Well-produced canned ID into "Kids in America" by Kim Wilde.
1929 UTC: "I Know There's Something Going On" by Frida.
1934 UTC: MRI ID with female voice saying "The home of real music." That was followed by "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" by The Smiths.
* * * * *
1956 UTC: Female-voiced MRI ID; the signal's holding strong as I listen while working.

Thanks for the mid-day music!

on 6960 AM     direct in Europe
2138 carrier, guessing some audio in the noise here (nothing sure about TA signal)
2208 not better (and a beeper on 6961)
2225 still not at home, but heard very weak on SDR in UK, "You really got me",
2228 "Tequila", also guessed at home now
2245 still very weak in UK and in the local noise at home (hope less noise after local midnight)

(2314 sorry, conditions not good enough to stay up. Good night everyone !)
