Audio is back up playing music, decent audio at 2208Z.

Thanks for the ID....now playing a variety of other material. Being bothered by some peskies....2207.

Thanks for the show!!!

Here's a waterfall of MAC's signal, you can see how wide the audio is, as well as the barber pole effect:

22:23 just tuned in to hear Hey Jude song by the Beatles  --  Super S9+ signal here!
23:31 Sounded like a skit with the Charlie Brown's parent's voices. Weird
23:34 Female - (young sounding) reporting they are going to "wrap up the show." into music
23:38 OP came on talked about an upcoming song / piece by Craig Dunlap.
23:44 tune by composer Jerry Goldsmith (think he did Psycho music)
23:46 more talk from male OP ending with song: "A Pirates Life For Me"
23:49 National Anthem music
23:50 Laughter - then off

Thanks for the Show MAC!

Great tunes unfortunately poor to fair-good reception on 6924.500 on New Hampshire remote.  Recorded just about 25 minutes starting at approximately 2230 or so.
