2333 "Bad Blood" by Bastille.

S7 to S9 signal and pretty good audio heard via the SDR at Shrewsbury, Vermont, amid moderate noise and slight fading ...

2319 UTC: After long silence and no signal on the waterfall, the signal signed on and started playing "The Politics of Dancing (12" Extended Mix)" by Re-flex.
2325 UTC: "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" by R.E.M.
2329 UTC: "Talking In Your Sleep" by The Romantics. This and "The Politics of Dancing" were on my mixtapes back in the '80s.
2333 UTC: "Bad Blood" by Bastille.
2337 UTC: "Hell of a Season" by The Black Keys.
2341 UTC: Male host on the mic: "Hello, hello?" He then gave an ID, HFU shout-outs, and mentioned the recently played songs.
2342 UTC: "The Drone Racing League" by GUNSHIP.

Thanks for the music today, Thunder Chicken!
