Tune in 0220z
Sig is S9 - BUT -
Broadband Digital Sig 6950-6962 KHz interfering heavily.
Just able to hear the music using USB helps eliminate some of the interference
SINPO - 41442

0200Z - WENO Shortwave Radio ID

Best described as "trippy" mixture of tones, voices and effects. I've heard the term Modern Classical in the past to describe this type of music.
Certainly works for Halloween

Signal peaking S9+10 - steady level, good prop into SE Mich.

0215 - Steady list of phonetic alphabet letters mixed into the sounds, so far my magic decoder ring hasn't come up with a message.

0225Z - Completed broadcast with WENO waterfall ID and then a jack-o-lantern outline icon on waterfall display.
