2321 UTC: song by the Doors just above the noise floor, but very weak.
0059 UTC: Devo "Whip It"
0100 UTC: Still Devo song but I heard DTMF programming que tones under the song from the "Community Radio Network" station, so this is in fact a different station than CRN.
0101 UTC: YL ID, sounded like 90.7 WPEF or similar
0102 UTC:  Dire Straits "Walk of Life"
0108 UTC: DJ talk "DJ Downer" or "DJ Donner" or similar with live time check at "Eight-O-Eight"
0116 UTC: More DJ talk with call-in listener, going on for several minutes now
0124 UTC: Local ads for Virginia businesses

This seems to be a relay of FM 90.7 WPEX in Virginia

What it sounded like from Western Michigan: https://youtu.be/undv90zIDS0

4863 a typo?  I see no mention of 4063, but that's where I have Mix right now at 2240 UTC, S7 into West Michigan, typical wideband USB signal, sounds nice.  Michael Jackson tune right now.

I'm hearing this one again tonight, right now at 0018z with Christmas music, only present on the North antenna and hovering just above the noise floor when it fades up, which isn't often.

0302z: Hearing music, possibly Adele's Someone Like You, very faint bubbling up from the noise floor on the North antenna.
0317z: another fade-up with slow female vocals, possibly a country song.

I'd love to know what music. I was just running a test broadcast with mostly Christmas music then went into a Devo escapade because I drank. Real curious if this rig is getting out on 1710kHz, long work in progress. Running 25 watts but the antenna needs far more work. I will probably run this all christmas on and off until it's perfected. http://darkliferadio.proboards.com/thread/1018/class-series-modulated-transmitter-build

Slide up to 1720 kHz some night, if possible, and let's see if it's getting out.  I'm 99.9% sure that the station logged in this thread is our "West Rockingham" Community Radio Network station however.
