SINPO=12111, very weak and under lots of QRN (and some QRM). Noisy conditions tonight.

115- I can make out a soft tune, and from the voice and chords, I can tell it's the same "Dear God" by XTC reported by others, but couldn't ID independently.

Just tuned in at 0158 UTC, the carrier can be heard way out here directly in AM mode; in LSB, I can hear bits of the music. Signal's slowly rising in strength.
