2225 UTC I'm hearing some music, but it's buried in the noise here...sounds orchestral
Too weak here to copy....
2240 UTC Briefly came up for a bit...more orchestral music...not hearing any ID's at all though...
2242 UTC Hmmm...thought I heard an OM say something...
2243 UTC Heard a YL giving numbers in Spanish, then a YL said something
2244 UTC Some more weak music
2245 UTC Signal has picked up again...sounds like the same orchestral piece. Not sure what the Final Countdown sounds like :-[
2248 UTC Hearing some talking
2252 UTC Music with vocals, then OM with "5,4,3,2,1" and more numbers
2255 UTC OFF or buried in the noise.....

Is this North American or European?

 I am hearing music here but there is noise to in Western South Carolina signal strength is fair but noise seems to be the problem I think I hear a male announcer.

The Final Countdown, 6876.6, 2218, 12.20.15.  Numbers tones and numbers, "This is the final countdown," some other sillyness, punkish song, numbers, Europe's "The final countdown", numbers, "This is the final countdown," cold medicine ad, bits of music(same piece), non English, another version of same song (recorder) continuing with various versions of Europe with numbers and "This is the final countdown.

S8 - S6 depending on fading.  Overall fair to good.

Thanks for the show.  Different.
