Hearing some music, just tuned in, so no ID yet.
S8 signal, but lots of static.
Based on the music, perhaps BBR?
ID repeated at 2354z.
Off at 2355z.
Checking the SDR recording, sign on was 2251z.

00:42utc I'm hearing a carrier that seem to be going up and down, as though testing / or possible audio issues starts at S7 peaks at S9+ for a second then drops back.

Actually I heard this "pulsing" yesterday as though a beacon. Very distinct in SSB.  No music though... (possible local RFI locally on this end)

Lots of S8 noise crashes here this evening, so rough copy.
Signal peaked up around 2330z, playing 'You Can Call Me Al' by Paul Simon.

Weak with static crashes (snow storm  :-\ ) in Central PA but I do hear music and a possible announcement (signoff?)

Was S8 around 2351z, but took a big signal dive at the end. Too much static crash to pull out the ID.

Next time. Thanks for the broadcast.

Heard/seen as early as 2303.  Music, primarily dance, near a very noisy floor from southern storms.  Never heard an ID, so thanks to all for that.  On infrequent peaks, very nice audio.

Thanks BBR!
