2320z: Tough copy here too but hearing music with an announcement right now, but too weak to make out.  Seems to be getting slightly stronger as time passes.

0000z: Recheck and big improvement in the signal, hearing fairly constant music now.
0006z: Listener shouts, heard mention of MIchigan.
0008z: Off

S3 @ 2347, listening in LSB and hearing some music and deep voice OM.  Not bad with 50 minutes left until local sunset.
0005 - JT talking, mention of Holland, then into "Killing Time".
0007 - carrier is still there, but no audio being heard here.
0008 - carrier off
