1237 UTC Hearing this with a fair to good signal direct across the pond! Op is giving shoutouts to listeners with an unid dance song playing in the background. Some nice S7 peaks with moderate fading and some local QRM...excellent audio!

1247 UTC Listening here in USB to avoid the QRM and signal is clearer
1248 UTC OM with "Cupid Radio" ID...then DJ with "I don't know what happened...", then unid pop music
1253 UTC SSTV in the noise...had to trigger manually(very poor decode here)...followed by more pop music
1255 UTC OP talking now but the noise is too high for copy
1301 UTC Signal has improved greatly! Thanks for turning the beam westerly! Music and Cupid op chatting 
1303 UTC S7 peaks now and I can copy the talking! Followed by a dance tune
1310 UTC Cupid op talking..."thanks for tuning in"...followed by a pop song
