Moderate carrier here, but can't hear audio except what sound like low mumbling with peskie splatter
03:24 still hearing a respectable carrier, but audio is too low to make anything discernable, here.

I first noticed the carrier on the SDR recording around 0140z. I could first hear some audio around 0210 with "The Night Chicago Died"

Maybe still going around 0700? But getting weak by now.
