S7 with the Whidbey Island, Washington KiwiSDR. SINPO 35333 direct (very poor).

0141 UTC-Mambo Ay Ay Ay by Xavier Cugat and His Orchestra
0144 UTC-Captain Jack by Billy Joel
0153 UTC-Bud Bigly talking, barely audible direct
0153 UTC-Syeeda's Song Flute (feat. Tommy Flanagan & Paul Chambers & Art Taylor) by John Coltrane, reception getting decent now

0345 UTC-I have to listen to the recording later, just a weak carrier on the KiwiSDR I was using. Weak traces of voice on the Maui, Hawaii KiwiSDR now. Good S7 with the Northern Utah KiwiSDR. No sign of anything direct.

Yup. Weak, weak, weak and the modulation is quite low.  Bud, did your transmitter croak, man?

0201 - The Police, The King of Pain.
0205 - Talk by Bud and the only part I got clearly is "BEEEE SIIIIIDE RAYYYDEOOOH".
0207 - Big Band/Glenn Miller-type song.
0213 - Paul Simon

0227 - Stan Getz

0228 - Signal strength is very good (S9+10) at VE6JY SDR near Edmonton, AB but quite a lot of polar flutter observed. There must be Northern Lights pretty far south tonight.
In fact, yeah, possibility: https://www.hfunderground.com/propagation/#aurora (https://www.hfunderground.com/propagation/#aurora)
This may be part of the reason why many of us are observing weak reception. It has nothing to do with the modulation level though.

0234 - Ben E. King, Waiting for Tomorrow.
0257 - King Crimson, 21st Century Schizoid Man.
0305 - Bud sadly makes a reference to recovering from "The China Flu".   See ya, Bud. I won't be listening anymore, ever.

I thought that was Paul Simon with "Graceland"

The signal is improving at Marie's place. About an S-7 w/ "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart". Heavy drinking would be my advice.

Up to an S-9 on the N.Utah Kiwi SDR. Charlie is right,the modulation is low. Try bringing the audio up just a tad.
