A good signal here, SIO 444 or so. Someone relaying the stream perhaps?

Very solid, clear signal heard via K3FEF SDR in Pennsylvania ...

2219 UTC: Upbeat smooth jazz tune.
2220 UTC: Guy with a British accent talking with a woman and taking a phone request.
2221 UTC: "Euge One-Oh-One" by Euge Groove.
2229 UTC: "Sonic Dreams" by Brian Culbertson (had to go upstairs for a few moments, so I'm sure I missed a bit in between).
2231 UTC: Host talking again, not totally readable as the signal's getting noisy, into "Let's Ride" by Jeffrey Smith.
2234 UTC: Some more talk, another song, and then the host was back at 2240 UTC. By that time, however, the static level via this SDR was overcoming the audio.

Now listening via Elmira, New York, SDR ... signal's more static-free from here.

2248 UTC: Host and female host bickering a bit then introducing next song, "Goodbye Columbus" by George Benson.
2249 UTC: Host is back, playing voicemail from Seal Beach, California, into "Bahia" by Rick Braun.
2254 UTC: Host mentions "BestSmoothJazz.com" and says the show is available via YouTube or streaming via Alexa, so I'm guessing somebody is indeed streaming this into a transmitter.
2255 UTC: "Tradewinds" by Steve Oliver.
