UnId, 6950.2 AM, 0058, 4.23.17.  Program of rock music, I had to be out of the room & haven't listened to the recording; 0108 "Space Oddity," man talking (sounds like an Op.  I can't make out much.), more contemporary rock.

S6 - noisy with fading.

1:20 Tough copy - telephone conversation...

Tuned in at 0145 UTC to the music of Elton John - "Rocket Man," followed by ID at 0146 as "Radio Free Mars" by Male announcer.

0149 UTC- Elton John singing "Benny & The Jets," followed at 0150 by news of a Target Store employee on his day off, so he was searching the high seas for treasure." Also a mocking bird in Houston, Texas setting off car alarms, including a Beemer.

0154 UTC- station ID "Radio Free Mars...and lovin' it." Another ID at 0159 UTC- "Radio Free Mars with yours truly Mr. Martian."

0201 UTC- mention of "Anniversary Weekend -- Mr. Martian." More music by Elton John and David Bowie followed.

Good signal into New Jersey on the R8A + PAR EndFed Z EF-SWL.

Thanks for the show -- and please QSL!

73's,
