Tuned in at 2254 UTC to 6235 LSB and I'm getting threshold audio. I can make out music, but darned if I can tell what's playing! There was nothing here earlier on 6226 LSB.
2303 UTC "Just The Way You Are"-Billy Joel
(I'm getting nothing since 2313 UTC)

It's 2141 UTC and the 49 meter band is starting to open up for Europe. I'm hearing 6200 KHZ fading in and out of the noise floor with music.
2200 UTC Signal up to S5 here with great audio...some fading.
2220 UTC Solid S7 now with fairly good copy on announcements. Wish I was more up to date on the European popular music scene
(The Laser Hot Hits announcer talks really fast Lots of shoutouts between songs to listeners! Also IDing as Laser Hot Hits INTERNATIONAL
2235 UTC "Love Train"-O'Jays
2238 UTC "Boys of Summer"-Don Henley
(There, that's 2 songs in a row this old timer ID'd)
2340 UTC Just checked back in and signal seems to have dropped a bit into the noise with more fading than before, but still quite listenable at S5 peaks
2347 UTC "My Sharona"-The Knack
2352 UTC "Why Can't We Be Friends"-War
0028 UTC "Losing My Religion"-REM
0211 UTC Signal is amazing right now! Solid S9 with 100% copy of LHH DJ's talk! Song at 0213 UTC is like a local now. NICE!
(A quick check of the NOAA prop conditions show that the sun has quieted down rather nicely!)
Time to hit the sack....thanks for the LHH relay today RMI!!! It is appreciated

At threshold here when op switched frequencies. Still better than 15880 USB here, but too weak to ID music.

Fair signal here in Western MA tonight with European pop tunes and announcer between songs since 2320 UTC. Some band noise and rapid fading tonight, but otherwise sounds good here through the stereo system.

Seriously Al, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that something like this would happen in the corporate world. I doubt that the Phoebus Cartel were the first to come up with the bright idea of "planned obsolescense". They certainly won't be the last. Now all we need is DimBulb to weigh in on the subject and further enlighten us....

Nice steady S5 signal here at 2232 UTC with "I Won't Back Down"-Tom Petty. No contact address given yet, at least not that I've heard. Still, it's nice to have a regular Euro audible here in the USA!
Hey, whoever you are, how about an email, Magic op?

I'm getting a weak carrier here in Western MA with threshold audio at 0031 UTC check. The static is just too much here for decent copy. I've never been able to get a clear logging of LHH on this frequency.
