Title: Doctor Detroit 6150 KHz from 6960 KHz AM 1759 UTC 31 Dec 2017
Post by: KaySeeks on December 31, 2017, 1800 UTC
Open carrier for the last 5 minutes then into bass line with voice over "I was stand by for the Dr. Detroit radio gram".

1801 - "Honey Honey, Sugar, Sugar", The Archies
1803 - "Knowing Me, Knowing You", ABBA 
1807 - "I Think We're Alone Now", Tommy James and The Shondels
1810 - "Give A Little Bit", Supertramp.
1813 - ID and of course, signal took a long fade just at the right moment but heard "...superior AM modulation".
1814 - "All Mixed Up", The Cars. Very strong in VA right now. Average SINPO 44434 over the last 15 minutes.
1818 - "Everyday I Write The Book", Elvis Costello

Music continuing. Signal great in Del(aware)-Mar(yland)-V(irgini)a with foF2 ~ 6MHz right now in the area. Outside that area, not so good. Signal is only S4 in western OH and positively blows in Upstate NY, New England and the southern US.

1832 - Announcement in a "pirate-like" voice (appropriate?  ;)) and thanking HFU folks. Into a Boston song.
1837 - music faded down, carrier slowly lower and lower...TX off

Made the jump to 6150 from 6960. Thanks for the tip, Azimuth Coordinator.

1857 - Announcement "Dah, you're listening to the Doctor Detroit Radio Gram on Radio Illuminati"
1907 - Deep Purple
1923 - "The show's over, so go tune somewhere else...That's right. Good day."
1925 - The Star Spangled Banner
1926 - TX off

About an S5 carrier with some fades, audio seems a little low, poor to fair copy.
1807 - "I Think We're Alone Now" Tommy James & The Shondells
1810 - "Give A Little Bit" Supertramp, audio level seems better now.
