Tuned in at 0213utc, weak signal under heavy atmospheric noise, sounds like electronic music.
As of 0223utc signal improving. At 0230 SSTV/FAX of a strange picture as seen on HFU, then off.

Just tuned in time to hear Pigmeat's request of Tangerine Dream being played.  This is probably the first time I've heard them.  Good signal into SW AL, about an S7 on average.

Kraftwerk on since 0200 - break between songs.  SSTV at 0230 (pig sunbathing on a beach), music, 0250 (woman with a pig on the beach), music, 0256 SSTV ("Pigmeat on a normal day")

Fair to barely audible with fading here.

LOL! See that Fansome? I'm still pullin' the chicks after all these years.

I'm shocked I was able to ID that Tangerine Dream song w/ the drifty bfo on this Grundig G-5 after 40 years. "Stratosfear" was one of my favorite albums by them. Nice selection of early electronica.

Listened into this last night but was too tired to grab my tablet computer to decode the SSTV, glad others here uploaded them!
Neat show, Kraftwerk fan myself so was nice to hear their music for the first time on shortwave :D
Signal was decent for the storms in the midwest, SINPO 55354
