2002 UTC "Popcorn"-Crazy Frog with a strapping S9+ signal here! Superb audio too!
2005 UTC "Dirty Frog"-Crazy Frog

If that was a test, it worked very nicely!  
2015 UTC Back up again but signal strength is weaker and with RTTY QRM
(Playing a song I've heard several times in 2015 but no ID on the station or the song...hmmm)
This song gives a different ID every time I shazam it
2029 UTC "U.N.I.T.Y."-Queen Latifah/"Let's Stick Together"-Bryan Ferry
2033 UTC "Get Together"-Youngbloods
2037 UTC "Why Can't We Be Friends"-War
2041 UTC "You've Got a Friend"-Carole King (Signal is fading in and out of the noise floor now with S3 peaks and RTTY QRM)
2045 UTC OFF

Despite constant monitoring over the last 15 minutes, there is not even a trace of a carrier here on the other side of the big pond   Thanks for trying though! Maybe one of these evenings the prop will be favorable!
Not sure that you are still on at this time....

2357 UTC I'm getting a weak carrier fading in and out now, but sadly, no audio

Have this here also since 2345 UTC at threshold with what sounds like flute music. Too weak for Shazam to lock onto. Also occasional blasts of OTHR loud enough to bust an eardrum

Fair to good carrier here but audio is mostly buried in the noise

Signal is right at the noise floor here at 2132 UTC Can make out some talk and now music at 2133 UTC. Maybe the talk is part of the song?

2243 UTC "Trouble If You Hide"-The Freeze (per Shazam)
(Has that XLR8 feel to it....   )

2310 UTC "Beds Are Burning"-Midnight Oil (Signal solidly above the noise now!)
2313 UTC OM with a whispered "X-L-R-8" and then a loud "accelerate", into some Ozzy
2320 UTC Deep fade into the noise from whence it has not returned
