No ID so far at 2219
rock music, sort of sounds like Led Zeppelin (Shazam doesn't know either)
S6, 35443, S+N: -90 dBm, SNR: 13
2225: silent ... then back on after half a minute, music continues
2229: silent ...
2231: "Perhaps you better start from the beginning", repeated -> music: "Electric Head, Pt. 1 (The Agony)" - White Zombie 
2233: Noise and fading starting to dominate
2235: Sci-Fi sounds - > music "Super Charger Heaven" - White Zombie
2239: talking - can't make it out; music continues
2244: "Creature of the Wheel" - White Zombie
2248: "Electric Head, Pt. 2 (The Agony)" - White Zombie
2251: ? End of song ?; nearly faded out here, 24222

2303: "El Phantasmo and the Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama" - WZ
2305: more music
2307: "Blur the Technicolor" - WZ
2312: music continues ... still haven't heard an ID
2317: OM: "That's enough of that sh*t" -> SSTV which *might* be a chicken, but not sure
2319: "Still of the Night" - Whitesnake
2326: "Give Me All Your Love" - Whitesnake  -> "Bad Boys" - Whitesnake -> more music
2347: signal improved, now 45334 -> more music
2354: ID and signing off -> SSTV (rabbits listening to radio) - another ID and "Good night".

I have it with a poor/fair signal.  Playing what sounds like heavy metal tunes, but not sure what.  Thanks for show.

S9 to 10 over USB signal here in Central Wisconsin. Very powerful signal continues its Ear Assault. Op: "That's enough of that Shit" followed by SSTV at 2320 UTC. I Should have known: Thunder Chicken Radio! Waterfall image at 2340 Op: "I've got that workin" then more music. Music still S9 to 10 over! At 2350 a decrease to S6-S7. Signal badly losing ground to S5 as 0000 UTC approaches. SSTV and Thunder Chicken ID at 2355 at only S4 barely above the low background band noise. Cluck, Cluck and off.

Listening on an SDR in Ohio.

2317 - Interruption mid-song,  "That's enough of that shit". Long dead-air pause then SSTV image with Thunderchicken logo.

2320 - Whitesnake, "Still of the Night".
2339 - Easypal image but not easy to interpret. It might have been The Thunderchicken logo. "Ah cool. (I) got that working."

2355 - SSTV:

2357 - Close down. Said he's not going to go down in frequency.
