Listening on northwest Ireland SDR. Very weak most of the time.
0745 UTC - Re-do of David Bowie "Starman". Pro-sounding announcement between songs but signal is too weak to understand or identify the language.
0754 UTC - TX off or signal lost.

2046 - playing US jingles, etc. from probably the 1970s, followed by ID. S9+10 to +20 on an SDR in Austria. Great reception.
2245 - checked back now, 2 hours later. Signal is much weaker and with rapid flutter QSB (similar to aurora flutter).

2020 UTC - On 6954.88 KHz. SINPO 45454, S9 on an SDR in Austria.
The bass is a bit muddy and distorted but otherwise all else sounds good in central Europe.
2050 UTC - The distortion may better, though it depends upon the music material, of course.
2104 UTC - Rolling Stones, "Angie".
2216 UTC - Op ID in English.
2229 UTC - Op talk over John Lennon (?) song. Op will listen on this frequency after his TX off. (This is the way that Greek MW pirates do their transmissions.)
2240 UTC - Close down soon. Op will listen on this frequency after close down. Will be on again tomorrow.
2242 UTC - TX Off.

I did some looking around with various Kiwis (1930 UTC). Best reception that I was able to find (in order of worst to best): Weston-Super-Mare (UK), HB9EXC (western Switzerland), and linkz kiwi2 (southeast of Lyon, French Alps). Reception on linkz2 is by far the best, the other two aren't even close to it. Otherwise, reception in various parts of Europe appears to be non-existent.

SIO 333 on the Weston-Super-Mare (UK) SDR.
2058 - hip hop
2118 - same audio heard weakly on K3FEF SDR in northeastern Pennsylvania.
2124 - same audio heard weakly on W1NT SDR in New Hampshire with 500 foot/152 meter beverage antenna pointed at Europe.
Signal is a lot stronger in Weston than anything tried on the east coast of North America.
2128 - brief announcement (no copy) after song then TX off the air.

I'm not sure of the spelling of the name of the station. SIO 333 on UK SDRs. Audio is a bit overmodulated and the bass notes are a bit rough. FIXED
1903 - ID with some talk about the setup. Said the antenna is low but promises to raise it.
1912 - Elvis Presley
1941 - Closing down soon
