A bit difficult to hear, plus the music is unfamiliar to me, at 0217z here in western New York. Song at 0220 seemed to have "go" in the refrain.

Very poor in western New York.

Mostly unlistenable, but around 0227z SSTV sounds noted, then "Cat in the Cradle". Some other music, then seems off at 0238. Barely audible, unfortunately.
