Listening via the SDR in Traverse City, Michigan, which is receiving an S9+ signal and good audio that's staying above the noise with slight fading. Out here near Seattle, I'm hearing just a hint of audio directly at times on my radio ...

0349 UTC: Vintage racing radio or TV ad.
0350 UTC: "Record Run" by The Pyramids.
0352 UTC: The usual female-voiced host talking about hot rod and racing songs from the 1960s and introducing the next couple of songs.
0353 UTC: "Draggin' in the U.S.A." by Annette Funicello.
0355 UTC: "Hot Rod City" by Ronny & The Daytonas.
0357 UTC: The host gave the email address for eQSLs, followed by "409" by The Beach Boys.
0359 UTC: Host talking again, giving an introduction to the next couple of songs. Her AI diction is a little more noticeable tonight than usual.
0400 UTC: "Hey Little Cobra" by The Rip Chords.
0402 UTC: Another vintage racing ad.
0403 UTC: "G.T.O." by Ronny & The Daytonas. The noise and fading are increasing now.
0405 UTC: "Shut Down" by The Beach Boys.
0407 UTC: The host introduced the final set of songs for the night.
0408 UTC: "Cherry, Cherry Coupe" by The Beach Boys.
0410 UTC: Another vintage racing ad.
0411 UTC: "Little Honda" by The Hondells.
0413 UTC: "Green Onions" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s.
0416 UTC: The Host thanked Band-Aid Radio for the relay and said goodnight, then off.

Thanks for the music!
