Fair reception at start

2215 Two OM's in skit, talking about Mars and meteorite
2217 I'm thinking this is some version of "War of the Worlds", mention of explosion in NJ.  Brooklyn, 1930's/40's music
2221 "Something knocked me out of my chair......"
2226 "The explosions on Mars......we now continue with our piano....(to music)". Reception now excellent

I'm listening to this on the W1NTE web receiver while recording 6925. Excellent signal

Pulled the coax for the horizontal loop into another room, connected the 7030 & had this with a nearly perfect signal--even better than on the web receiver. Listened from when the protagonist found another survivor through the final credits
