Just caught the end of a Scottie1 SSTV transmission at 2126.  A peace symbol, maybe?

2133 UTC Hearing some CW
2135 UTC Music box tune (pleasant sounding little ditty!)
(Signal is fading in and out of the noise floor here)
2142 UTC More CW, then what sounds like a jazz tune
(Signal is just too low in the noise for decent copy here  :( )
2152 UTC Signal up to S7 peaks now! Shazam not hitting on the song
2154 UTC "Come As You Are"-Bebo Best & the Super Lounge Orchestra (Solid S9 signal sounding really good now!)
2158 UTC "Smells Like Teen Spirit"-Robyn Adele Anderson
(Cool version! I can even understand the lyrics!)
2201 UTC "Nothing Else Matters"-Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox featuring Caroline Baran
2206 UTC CW, into "Enter Sandman"-unknown cover version live
(Thanks for the info ION! I never would have figured it was them!)
2211 UTC Synth voice YL with ID, email addy and "This is ION Radio signing off"
2212 UTC SSTV

Thanks for the cool show of different versions of well known tunes! I'm quite happy the propagation stepped up nicely during the broadcast!  :)

2144 Weak copy on KD2OM SDR in Victor, NY, trumpets playing the same melody as the one on the song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega.
2146 either below the noise or there's no audio, just a carrier. Carrier looks very thin so I'm betting on the former.

Barely anything on the SDR in Haddon Heights, NJ. Probably off air I guess.
