Excellent reception.....had no idea they were broadcasting this competition live from Lisbon.  I was spinning the dial and heard crowd noise and non-Greek music.  Matched it to a stream of the contest.  On the 1936 Zenith Console 8S154, sounds like a music hall here.  Most of the music has been pretty decent.  ABBA got their big break here by winning it in 1974 with "Waterloo".

2043z Swedish song
2048z Hungarian singer
2051 Israeli competitor
2055 Netherlands entry - C&W?
2058z Irish OM singer

2102z YL Cypriat singer "Fuego"
2108z Italian OM singers
2112z Break in first round of competition?  Replaying snippets of 26 contestants.
2119z YL & OM singer not in contest?
2125z Sounds like another run through of song segments
2134z "Volare" 3rd place finisher in 1958 Eurovision, not Dean Martin cover
2155z Announcement of countries voting results for final round - Albania's results
2200z Time pips to news
2205z Continuation of protracted voting process
