The barest trace of a carrier here at 0203 UTC.  :(
0228 UTC Traces of music in the noise...can't ID the tune
0238 UTC Music fading in and out of the noise...best the signal has been tonight! Still rough copy though...
0243 UTC Sounds like "Long Long Time"-Linda Ronstadt
0310 UTC "Long and Winding Road"-Beatles
0336 UTC SSTV but it would not decode
0337 UTC Wildfire IS

I'd take a guess at tonights theme, but the band went long early again this evening...thanks for the broadcast!
