"House of the Rising Sun" Animals @ 0055z tune-in.
M/ancr, I think mentioning "it's time to get out of here."
"Born to be Wild" Steppinwolf @ 0058z
What can be best described as "grunts" and noise @ 0103, which I'm guessing is likely jamming.
A second station had keyed up shortly before.

S10 signal but lots of storm QRN.
