0158z   Electronic music
0203z   "Stern Radio" (thanks to others who have posted on this one, I thought I was hearing "Syko" or "Samurai" but now I hear "Stern")
0226z  "Stern Radio" with address for QSLs. but I copuldn't quite get it, even with a phonestic alphabet, maybe "sternradio666@", finishing with "Das ist Stern Radio"
