S7

2352 Some thumping music, OM with a few words. Good audio!
2353 Mix of Rocket Man, I'm not sure if a remix or just an a lot of bass! Signal down S3.
0005 OM with some commentary into music. Audio seems a little overdriven maybe, some noise and fade.
0015 Music playing, some type of electronica with lots of bass, Major Tom mix I guess, Rocket Man in there to.
0026 ID Radio Free Mars over music. Sounding good, S9 w/slight fade.
0029 ID, OM talking then lost signal suddenly.

A first for me also. Not very strong, S3 to S4, about even with the noise. Some QSB.

Hearing this station at this moment 01:25UTC with a fairly decent signal sounds like a dee jay on the spot report! Signal strength at 10 over 9 but there is some static on this frequency!
