6873.64 khz  AM  KCPR - I see this is a real Station ID for 91.3 FM San Luis Obispo California ??

3:29 utc Proco Harum  Whiter Shade of Pale
2:31 utc  CW ID two times - K something? PR
Can't make out song - in the static to much at S6
2:38 utc fading up to S7 - S8  Steely Dan - FM - nice wide modulation / audio  on peaks
2:42 utc  CW ID again 2 times - I think it is KCPR?  
2:42 utc UNID song
2:45 utc Kansas "Dust In The Wind"
2:49 utc  CW ID  -.-  -.-.  .--.  .-.  KCPR  good copy this time..
2:49  Steely Dan "Dirty Work"  temporary - 30 seconds or so RTTY sig in your lower side band
........
3:03 utc - Scorpions  "Winds of Change" fades up and down between S6 - S8
.........
3:07 - 3:11:40 utc - long running SSTV but it will not decode here. have audio recording - will try to decode again later..
3:11:40  Longer CW message - will have to go back and listen again to see what this was. --- Off Air now at 3:14 utc

All I can hear from the final CW was "Drink Your Ovaltine"  , Message was sent two times but the rest has too many fades and static crashes.
Partial SSTV decode sent in  Scottie DX mode -
