Tough copy through heavy local RFI. Heard Chris Isaak, Wicked Game, 0103z, 6960 AM
0211z RFI subsided, and signal peaked, just enough to copy ABBA, Winner Takes It All, Name of the Game
0216z Ball Smacker ID with contact info
0218z Joe South, Games People Play
0223z Basketball Jones? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Almost no signal here in Michigan. Shows up as a faint line on the waterfall and barely heard above background noise. I can hear them about S7 on a KiwiSDR in NC.

I had to go to USB, Fansome forgive me, to dig any audio out. What's there is faint at best. Man talking but I can't make out what he's saying. SSTV noise. Lot's of static. SIO 131
