Hearing you here in New Hampshire, USA (70 miles north of Boston), under some QRN with a pesky whistling from a utility, SINPO=22222 to 21121.

2338- "Keep On Loving You" by REO Speedwagon.
2341- New tune, softer rock song, with OM singing.
2345- OM talking.
2348- Another song. Losing tune under the QRN/QRM, but has a fast rock beat and OM singing.

<<Signal dove under the noise floor by 2350>>

2356- Signal reacquired and can hear rock tune. Has an 80s vibe to it but Shazam confirms that it's "Dakota" by Stereophonics.
2358- "Life is Life" by Opus. Wow, haven't heard this since being an exchange student in Germany in 1985...ausgezeichnet und toll!
002- OM talking. Cupid Radio ID heard.
002- "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.
008- OM IDs songs, followed by long SSTV transmission.
012- OM speaks briefly, then right into "Nothing But a Good Time" by Poison.
016- "Du Hast" by Rammstein.

029- "Ride" by Twenty One Pilots.
033- "High Voltage" AC/DC.
037- "We Could Be Heroes" by Alesso.
037- OM over the music. Signing off from The Netherlands. Way too late! Long weekend here. Getting dark in the USA, which is why signal improving there. Shout-outs, including to South Africa. You thank me at 038 (thank you!!!). Laughs just before signing off, and then SSTV.
046- "TNT" by AC/DC, with OM talking over it and thanking listeners, laughing too. You thanked me again at 048 (thank you!!) Youngest person here in the house. Very very good reception conditions tonight. Mentions of Spain, Amsterdam, etc.
049- Signal off.

Wow, thanks for a great show and very strong trans-Atlantic signal Cupid Radio! A pleasure to catch your transmission and show.

200- New song.
201- OM speaking.
202- Music with electronic sounding beat and YL.

209- Signal mostly lost, but can hear OM speaking.
210- Song, sounds pop/rock. Guessing from the chords that it's Sheryl Crow, "If It Makes You Happy," but just heard a soundbite of that.
