151- "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate.

Fair signal, but noise, in western New York
0220z The unmistakable sound of bowling pins!
0223z Touch-tone sounds, but maybe part of the song?
Too much noise to identify songs played. But - hey - it's mid-summer!

Attempting to listen somewhat earlier with little luck. Just threshold audio with music. At 0136 the signal began improving enough to hear a clear I at 0158 then into 'Answer the Phone' by Sugar Ray, 0240 SSTV (didn't decode here), ID and e QSL offer for tonight's theme, 'Wildfire' IS and off at 0242.
Lots of band noise with signal never getting better than poor - fair.

Did anyone get that damned cake out of the rain?
