Just noted this at 0058 UTC with a rather unusual song...S4 and mostly above the noise....
The ID/email addy at 0101 UTC sounds like a new one!

Solid S7 here with UNID pop tune at 0023 UTC
0024 UTC YL with ID? OFF

Darn...missed most of this one...listened back on the synthe voiced YL at 0024 UTC...not sure about the first sentence(mentioned six thousand nine hundred sixty?), but the second one is "Thanks for listening"...., third sentence..."See you next ?"

Got it after several listens back.... "Girl Scout Radio"

Here also at 2103 UTC with nice S6 signal. Hmmm...this is being relayed on 6925 AM also....
2117 UTC Yep...moved to 6950 and still being relayed on 6925 AM! Signals are about equal in signal strength and both with nice audio!
2130 UTC 6950 is booming in here at S9! (And although I heard this show earlier today....I can't stop laughing! )

Open carrier noted at 1929 UTC
1930 UTC Music now...sounds like an Irish folk tune with YL singers
1933 UTC A haunting violin song with appalause at the end
1938 UTC YL with a lovely voice singing a ballad accompanied by keyboards
1941 UTC YL singing a Irish sounding folk ballad
1945 UTC Flute/orchestral music with YL singer
1951 UTC YL singer with choral backing vocals
(These songs sound decidedly Celtic)
1955 UTC Sounds like an Irish jig/reel on violin
(So far the signal has been good to excellent with S8 peaks and the audio is superb!)
1957 UTC YL singer accompanied by Grand Piano
(I had to look up Joe Flips mention of these songs by Celtic Woman...as follows from Wikipedia... Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish musical ensemble conceived and created by David Kavanagh, Sharon Browne and David Downes, a former musical director of the Irish stage show Riverdance.)
2006 UTC An Irish jig/reel with YL singer
(Joe Flips...yes, this is quite a treat and a pleasant change of venue from the usual sounds of 43 meters! The Irish side of the "Skipmuck" family resonates to these beautiful tunes....the Coyle's and the Walker's over in Belmullet, County Mayo are smiling with their eyes and Nana is smiling in her comfortable place of rest at St. Michaels Cemetary.....)
2013 UTC Irish ballad sung by YL (This one sounds familiar)
2018 UTC "Amazing Grace"
2022 UTC "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
2025 UTC YL with unid ballad (signal is starting a bit of rapid fading)
(fading stopped at 2028 UTC...signal is still well above the local noise floor)
2029 UTC "Danny Boy" segued into another tune ending with applause
2038 UTC YL with ballad...Yep..."Ave Maria"....
2046 UTC Applause, followed by a Jig/Reel (somebody making xmtr adjustments?)
2049 UTC Applause and OFF

Thank you very much for an early St.Patricks day tribute!
