I'm calling it at 0107 - The theme is "Don't"

Conditions are poor, of course. Even when the signal is strong, the fading and the static make OTA listening very difficult.

0109 UTC A song I forgot the name of in progress...signal is at or just above the noise floor with some auroral flutter. Tough prop this evening!
0113 UTC "It Don't Come Easy"-Ringo Starr
(The deities of propagation are not smiling this evening...signal has degraded to where I can't make out the music at all)
