8/27/12, 6925, 0345z:
Heard "Orange Blossom Special" and Learned Skinflute "Gimme Back Ma Bullet"
0345z: "You are listening to The Machine" computer voice ID
0346z: More Limerick Skiprope "Gimme Three Steps"
0355z: ZZ Top "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide"
0400z: SSTV, good signal but don't have MMSSTV running

Via midwestern remote tuner, fair to good signal through heavy QRN.

SDR recording catch, good signal overall.

The SSTV image spanned two SDR recording files, so I had to do a little cut and paste on the image, Scottie 1 mode:

Recorder catch on 6925USB.

Really got very nice copy and audio here, and The Machine seemed to be in around S7, 0306 - 0400z.  Details as others have provided.  Scottie 1 SSTV at 0400.

Thanks Machine!  Very good to hear  you again.

It's interesting that Danoman noted Radio Ga-Ga; I find no trace here in my audio.  Likewise, RGG was absent from my overnight recording on August 26, 2012, 1251 UTC.  I haven't been overly impressed with props here in the last few days.
