SINPO=34222, fading in and out.

2306- Hearing the polka from Ground Hog Day!
2307- OM speaking (could be intro to next tune, as OM singer sounds similar).
2307- "I Am The Groundhog" by The Happiest Guys in The World.
Heard some more OM talking, maybe news coverage or a film clip, and music, but after 2310, signal was just barely above the QRN here.

Thanks for the show and give Ned Ryerson our best!
