Sounded like an answering machine loop at 1938z. Good signal this afternoon.

"This is a test: Dead City Radio" station id three times at 1939z.

I have enjoyed your broadcast I don't think it went to hell.

Faint sounds of music heard here in Alabama. The signal is showing up in the waterfall. Great to actually hear part of a Dead City Radio broadcast.

SSTV signal heard and seen, but too weak for an image here.

Hearing a very weak SSTV in the noise here at 2043 UTC, but nada on the decode

( Sadly, the signal on the program is deep in the noise.....no copy  :( )
2122 UTC "Spooky"-Classics IV?
2125 UTC "Spooky"-Atlanta Rhythm Section?
2127 UTC CW, then SSTV
2133 UTC "Spooky"-Dusty Springfield
2134 UTC OM talking....heard the ".com" (There is a strong carrier on 6926 AM)

2120 UTC: Hearing a nice, strong SSTV signal via the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C.
2121 UTC: "Spooky" by Classics IV. Sounds good!
2123 UTC: Male computer voice repeating "This is a demo ..." with ID and email address.
2124 UTC: "Spooky" cover by Atlanta Rhythm Section.
2126 UTC: Song cut off, then Morse code (I don't know Morse, so I can only guess it's the station ID in code).
2127 UTC: SSTV transmission, which I caught on my decoder app: Frankenstein-like monster holding a "Spooky Empire" sign.
2129 UTC: Same synth-voice ID as before, then a bouncy "spooky" song.
2131 UTC: Repeated ID as before, ending with "Enjoy the scary!", followed by another cover of "Spooky," this time by a female singer.
2134 UTC: ID repeated again, back into the same "spooky" dance song first played at 2129 UTC.
(Tuned out a minute to restart my phone)
2138 UTC: Morse code again, then a "Spooky Stories" graphic via SSTV transmission.
2141 UTC: ID repeated again, then an instrumental rock song (my Shazam app's not working right now).
2144 UTC: Off?

Welcome, Dead City Radio! There's a Clash song called "City of the Dead" that would be appropriate to play next time you're on.

2241 UTC: ID repeated again, then an instrumental rock song (my Shazam app's not working right now).
2244 UTC: Off?
Those two lines at 2141 and 2144 UTC (last edit was at 2145 UTC)
You're completely correct on that. Too little coffee in my system today, and I was rushing to type this during a work-from-home break, so I forgot how to tell time!  :)
