8/19/12, 6925, 0454z: Terry Jacks "Seasons In The Sun", Elvis "In The Ghetto"
0458z: "This has been Radio Ga-Ga, broadcasting where the (trees?) are just the right height."  Partially obscured by OTHR.
0500z: Shout out from Blue Ocean Radio to Radio Ga-Ga, listeners

Fair to good via midwest tuner, not much QRN but some occasional strong OTHR bursts.

Heard here at very good level ( ~S9++) as a recorder catch.

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 222

Weak signal just barely above the noise, but could still hear the music & ID at end of show.

04:40z-04:58z Radio GA-GA
