Poor with static &fading here.

On about 0150 UTC with a mix of sound effects, William Tell, and the theme from American Bandstand.

Piece of dialogue followed (possibly from American Bandstand), ending with, "lets see if you remember this one." and into Be My Baby by the Ronettes.
More dialogue, followed by an instrumental I don't know the name of.
More American Bandstand clips and music. Can't identify the song though.
"And now here he is the star of our show, Dick Clark!"
Barry Manilow version of AB theme.

Rough copy tonight. Peaks are nice, but tough overall.

Nice signal in central Indiana, consistently S7-8. Dick Clark clips, address and ID, disappeared at 0222.

Another SDR recording catch. Very strong signal, S9+25 at 0154z, then dropping a minute later to S9 where it stayed for the rest of the transmission.
