0246 on Empire MI sdr1 with weak but fair S5-S7 signal, song "to Sir with love" by Lulu, various oldies from 1960's, off at 0303.

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise.

Just tuned in at 02:58 with Forty Days.  Very strong into Masset, except for too narrow bandwidth.  Also transmitter appears to be a bit wobbly on the waterfall, too.  Any chance you could clean up the audio a bit?
03:00 The Night Before, by the Beatles. 
....03:05   That's all folks! and off.   Thanks for the program!   73,  Walt

Very poor in western New York, fair signal but a lot of noise. Noise is a challenge for Shazam.  I was able to ID the songs, but the voice announcements were tinny and distorted - couldn't find a sweet spot tweaking the BFO or the Offset. Fortunately, I did hear one ID.

0244z  "Theme from the Magnificent Seven"
0246z  "To Sir With Love" by Lulu
0249z  ID as "Band-Aid Radio", requests requested!
0250z  "Go Away" by the Murmaids
0253z  "Out of Limits" by the Marketts
0255z  "Forty Days" by Ronnie Hawkins
0259z  "The Night Before" by the Beatles
0306z  Appears that the transmission has ended, or noise is too great.

The usual great music

Here the entire 1 hour 4 minutes as received by me

20260208_0200_UT_6945_khz_USB_North_America_Band_Aid_Radio.mp4

Audio does seem a bit distorted/ too-loud.
