I'm hearing just barely audio at times directly up here near Seattle. The Northern Utah SDR is getting an S3 to S5 signal and fair to good audio amid noise and interference ...

1843 UTC: "Hoodoo Stew" by Selwyn Birchwood.
1847 UTC: Atwater Kent "Modern Radio" ad.
1848 UTC: "I Can't Quit You Baby" by Otis Rush.
1851 UTC: "Midnight Hour" by Chicken Shack. I apparently missed the ID just before the song.
1855 UTC: Either lost it in the noise or it went off.

I thought I heard some bits of audio around 1855, but really hard to tell. I gave up listening & hit the recorder at about 1859. From the look of everyone's logs, that might be too late
