Very strong signal but audio is overdriven - some distortion - S9+10

2330 - Space Oddity
2335 - ID (om), too garbled
2338 - ID (om), Radio Free Mars (audio better)
2338 - Rocket Man
2341 - ID

Listening via NA5B near Washington, D.C., where it's strong ...

2343 UTC: Dance remix of Elton John's "Rocket Man."
2344 UTC: "Sunshine (Ibiza Club Remix)" by Ritmo Playaz.
2348 UTC: OM with quick "This is Radio Free Mars" ID into another song (Shazam's having trouble IDing this one).
2352 UTC: Same rushed ID during a quick pause in the music, then the song resumed. Sounds like The 5th Dimension song either mixed in or part of this song.
2355 UTC: "Children of Planet Earth" by Melodysheep. This signal's is making it out to the Northern Utah SDR (albeit barely) when listening in USB.
2359 UTC: "Hello from the children of planet Earth ..." as the song ended.
0000 UTC: Silence for a moment and then off.

Thanks for the music! There's not enough dance/trance/techno on pirate radio!

Fine reception here in Detroit.  S-7 to S-9.  Very little fading.  6931 USB  with good audio.  Actually receiving the station on a Hewlett Packard 8920B Communications Receiver.  Recently calibrated.  Using about a 90 foot longwire and an MFJ-949D Versa Tuner for the random wire.  Stones: Ruby Tuesday.  73
