Tuned in via Chris' SDR in Westminster, Maryland, as the signal's not making it to the Seattle area ...

2028 UTC: "Nightmare on My Street" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
2030 UTC: OM announcer with ID of "Radio Free USA" as the song was ending, mentioned this is an early Halloween song and gave the email.
2031 UTC: "This is Halloween" playing as the OM announcer gave another ID or two.
2034 UTC: OM -- aka Mr. Red Sky -- started playing the "Halloween" movie theme, gave his name, IDs, email again.
2037 UTC: Mr. Red Sky gave ID and email again, then played "Dragula" by Rob Zombie. I can get the signal via the University Park, Pennsylvania SDR, with a fair but distorted signal, but it's not making it anywhere in the West (Utah, Idaho or Washington state) that I've checked.
2041 UTC: Mr. Red Sky with a quick ID into "Bark at the Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne.
2045 UTC: After an ID and the email address, Mr. Red Sky played the theme from "The Exorcist."
2048 UTC: "I'm Your Boogie Man" by KC & The Sunshine Band. The signal's fading now with increasing static via the Westminster, Maryland, SDR.
2052 UTC: "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon.
2055 UTC: Mr. Red Sky gave shoutouts, ID again into "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. Now listening via the Burke, Virginia, SDR. The signal's fair to good, but static creeping in on the increasing fades.
2100 UTC: Halloween sound effects as the signal fades some more. Ah, it's "Halloween" by the Misfits. Getting more difficult to hear the signal via Virginia.
* * * *
2123 UTC: Checked in on the signal at my own receiver and via the SDR in Machias, Washington, which is just across town from me, and I can hear music right at/just above the noise floor level now.

Thanks for the early Halloween tunes, Mr. Red Sky!
