SIO 444 here in MD. Radio drama about "unaccommodated" children.
Ion Radio ID at 1432.
Thanks for the broadcast, Ion Radio, the old Sci Fi programs are fun to listen to!

Tuned in at 1406 UTC. Signal has an "odd" signature on the waterfall, like one of the sidebands has more modulation on it than the other. Not sure if this is due to selective fading as the signal is actually pretty strong - S6-S7. At some points, the audio is nice and clear...other times its "muddy" and muffled (high frequencies appear to be cut out...?). The carrier seems to be "FMing" a bit as well.
Hearing OM and YL talking...then music at 1407...OM talking about "Mystery Theatre" - Ford Motor Division and True Value Hardware Stores?
1408 UTC - through a glass...darkly...other planets are being explored for colonization purposes
1409 UTC - distorted voices and old-time-radio sounding OM talking
1410 UTC - "mentioned my name" "computer error" "somewhere in area 13" "where is the crisis"
1412 UTC - suddenly a bit more clear...a clip of music, now OM and YL talking
1413 UTC - "come on darling..." "we've covered our tracks well"
1414 UTC - "walk into the...." "holding fast to our original plan" [radio drama music]
1415 UTC - switched to USB mode for a moment...seems to be more readable, but the frequency is still changing a bit
1416 UTC - "I find this conversation very disturbing"
1426 UTC - ION Radio ID
1429 UTC - OMs talking...difficult to make out exactly what is being said despite strong signal "2167" "ever visited....?"
1430 UTC - carrier signal seems to be closer to 6924.9 kHz now (but continues to FM)
1430 UTC - "male to male and female to female" "one child" "would account for their association"
1431 UTC - minor fade...then back to discussion about "unaccommodated child" "the year 2176"
1432 UTC - "the undercover man of 2176" followed by dramatic music
1433 UTC - discussion of undercover representatives of the planetary council
