0058 UTC Piano music right at threshold here
0100 UTC OM announcer? Did catch mention of Ballsmacker....
0106 UTC I can hear music in the noise but nada on the copy
0108 UTC Sounds like "All By Myself"-Eric Carmen
( Signal is picking up ever so slightly  :) )
0112 UTC "I Drink Alone"-George Thorogood & the Destroyers
0117 UTC "Alone Again(Naturally)"-Gilbert O'Sullivan
0121 UTC "Alone"-Heart
0124 UTC OM talking briefly? Signal back into the noise here  :(
0129 UTC "Leave Me Alone"-Michael Jackson (Signal up slightly)
0132 UTC OM speaking now
0142 UTC "Killing Me Softly With His Song"-Roberta Flack (About the best the signal has been so far!)
0151 UTC "Not Alone Any More"-Traveling Wilburys
0203 UTC OM speaking now...
(The static crashes are really making for tough copy here...I just can't ID the songs in the noise)

I'm certain the theme here was being "alone"! Good theme for all of us during this pandemic! Anyway, I didn't hear an email address, but this is my first reception of Ballsmacker Radio and I would very much appreciate an eQSL for my posting if you are reading this! Thanks for the broadcast and hopefully I will hear you again sometime!  :)
