S9+ signal and pretty good audio heard via the SDR in Presque Isle, Wisconsin, amid moderate noise levels ...

0304 UTC: Female host talking about the Spencer Davis Group's history and musical style, followed by "I'm a Man" by Spencer Davis Group.
0307 UTC: The host talked about how Steve Winwood left and formed Traffic. That was followed by "Paper Sun" by Traffic.
0312 UTC: The host talked more about Traffic and the band's sound, followed by "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" by Traffic.
0324 UTC: The host started talking again after the last song ended, but the signal and audio are fading away into the noise.

* * * * *

Now listening via the Northern Utah SDR, which has an S9ish signal and very good, loud audio ...

0335  Indistinct person talking, 'Higher Love' - Steve Winwood, YL AI style voice talking about music ( 0342 fade to JBA with YL apparently still talking) & off.

Overall a very poor signal, so unable to make out much other than the one song.
