KBOX, 6950 USB, 0121 - 0131, 10.14.17.  End of a song, woman announcer, more music (I was doing something else & didn't get details, ID, "All you need is love," Woman talking (indistinct), "I want to hold your hand," started fading and took a dive to inaudible shortly thereafter.

S6 until the fade out.

On the SDR recording starting at 0107 with what sounds like a kind of interval signal. Something sounding like a minor key musical box alternating with various speakers.
0109 YL "My name is Boxxy."
        Fair copy, not much noise but not very strong, making it hard to understand what's being said
0110 music
        Fading at 0119
0125 "All You Need Is Love" The Beatles
0128 YL voice (presumably Boxxy)
0129 "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" The Beatles
0131 "Across the Universe" The Beatles
0135 "Fidelity" Regina Spektor
0139 "Hammer Horror" Kate Bush
       0140 deep fade, signal back to former level at 0141
0143 YL voice, presumed station ID, then off

      In general the signal was fair throughout. Thanks for the show!

SDR recording catch. Signal varied between SIO 111 and 444.

0107 Sign on with repeated IDs and music / interval signal. KBOX not responsible for the content. Into Boxxy clips.
0110 "Celebrity Skin"
0113 7"Outkast "Hey Ya!"
0122 Unshazamable music.
0125 More Boxxy, then "All You Need Is Love"
0129 "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
0132 "Across The Universe"
0135 "Fidelity"
0139 "Hammer Horror"
0143 IDs, Boxxy, then off.

Thanks for the blast from the past!
