Listening via the SDR in Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S7 to S9 signal and fair to good audio through this evening's noise ...

0013 UTC: Music; can't tell if it's distorted on purpose or if the modulation is off.
0018 UTC: Shazam's identifying this music as "Jupiter and Beyond" by Francis Travis & Ernest Bour.
0018 UTC: Man on mic said something about the 43-meter band and gave email address of [email protected], then back to the modern classical music.
0022 UTC: Man on mic: "This is the Swift Observatory broadcasting from low-Earth orbit." Said he needs rescue ASAP, followed by the song "Klingon Battle" by Jerry Goldsmith.
0025 UTC: SSTV message: "NASA PREPARING TO SAVE TELESCOPE FROM FALLING TO EARTH." Also mentioned "Swift" and included an image.
0027 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the broadcast tonight!
