Barnes & Barnes "Fish Heads" at 2333. This used to be Dr. Demento all of the time--and on some pirates, too. Pretty good signal here. Into Gary Numan "Cars"

What is the strength there?

@tsalisbury0 I'd say it was an SIO 233

Tuned in just at 2334 UTC and heard the end of “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes (legendary song!), then “Cars” by Gary Numan. At 2338 UTC, “Gone Up the Country” by Canned Heat and then “Heart of Glass” by Blondie. Great song choices!

Then, during the Blondie song, the song or the signal itself took a huge volume dive to nothing for several minutes. At 2348 UTC, the music was back with "Hey Big Brother" by Rare Earth, then a Radio GaGa ID announcement at 2352 UTC, followed by SSTV transmission.

A good, steady signal with no SSB distortion on the music and moderate noise up to 2341 UTC; better than my last reception of Radio GaGa on the 27th. After 2348 UTC, it was noisier on the frequency, with more fading, but still good enough that Shazam recognized "Hey Big Brother."
