Just tuned in at 0037 UTC and the signal is pretty much at the noise floor, with hints of songs rising above the fairly noisy band this evening. Will keep listening and see if the band changes...
0125 UTC Been listening to mostly static since tune in and occasional hints of blues tunes, but the noise level is just too high tonight :(

Catching the Ghost here with a S7 peaking to a S9 playing the Blues and sounding good above the unusually higher amount of noise on the band this evening. ID at 0057. Thanks Ghost, wish the conditions were better.
