Tuned in via Northern Utah SDR at 0012 UTC, just in time to hear the end of a loud and clear SSTV transmission.

Audible with a fair signal through the noise via the Northern Utah SDR ... no signal out here near Seattle, though.
2132 UTC: "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd.
2134 UTC: Short SSTV transmission.
2136 UTC: "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds.
2140 UTC: "I Can't Dance" by Genesis.

Heard this Sacramento, California, station playing a Relevant Radio network religious talk show, which stayed mostly on top of the frequency and peaked loud and clear every few minutes over Seattle's KYIZ.
This station runs 1,000 watts at night; distance from me is 652 miles.

I heard a distinctive signal behind KKOH, which usually dominates 780, and was able to mostly null the Reno station to hear news of a Chicago area fire, a report on vending machines and other news and weather that I matched with WBBM’s online stream.
The signal was weak, but peaked at times through the waves of fading until KKOH went back on top for good by about 0730 UTC. Even then, however, WBBM could be heard in the background. This one’s listed as 42 kW at night; distance from me is 1,699 miles.

Tuned in via Northern Utah SDR, where it's fair though with some static crashes ... only a carrier's audible directly out here near Seattle.
0217 UTC: Irish music.
0220 UTC: Sounded like OM said something before another Irish-sounding song.
Switched to NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C. The static crashes out west here were driving me nuts ...
0223 UTC: "Twisting of the Rope" by The Chieftains.
0227 UTC: Female synth voice with "You are listening to Radio Nova" ID, then "Molly Na Gcuach Ni Chuilleanain" by Altan, according to Shazam (don't ask me to pronounce that!).
0229 UTC: ID, female with email address, ID in Morse code, female-voiced ID with a "thank you for listening," then SSTV transmission -- a rocky seaside picture.
0232 UTC: Off.

0119 UTC: Blasting into the NA5B SDR in D.C. very strongly with "Band on the Run." Checking to see if I can hear it directly out west here.
0122 UTC: Switched to LSB; "Jet" by Wings.
0126 UTC: Switched back to USB; "Bluebird" by Wings.
0131 UTC: Silence in both LSB and USB now.

Via NA5B in D.C. area ... no sign of this signal out west here when I've checked.
2355 UTC: Fair signal with techno music with sound clip of woman talking about being right/wrong into the remix of "Rocket Man" by Elton John. Is this you, Radio Free Mars?
2358 UTC: OM talking over the music (fuzzy mic) with Radio Free Mars ID and other chat.
0001 UTC: Sound clip again ... skit about Alcoholics Anonymous over music.
0004 UTC: Remix of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab." The whole signal sounds a bit overmodulated, but that might just be the SDR I'm tuned into.
0008 UTC: Same sound clip that played around 2355 UTC, then "Red Planet (DJ Wag Mix)" by Avatar for a minute.
0010 UTC: "Parents Against Online Defamation" interview skit.
0013 UTC: Back into the "Red Planet" remix.
0014 UTC: Robot-voiced "Radio Free Mars" IDs over music, then OM chatting on the mic. A bit hard to hear him. "No commercials, no sponsors and no guarantees," he said at one point.
0016 UTC: Off now.

2320 UTC: "The Sound of Silence" cover by Disturbed. Good signal overall.
2327 UTC: "My Own Prison" by Creed. Signal's fading a bit the past few minutes.
2332 UTC: Start of another song ... then two SSTV transmissions: one of a dog, the other looks like the top of the HFU homepage, though my decoder app had a hard time getting a clear image.
2336 UTC: New song ... quick SSTV interruption at 2337 UTC, then back to the music.
2346 UTC: "One Last Breath" by Creed.
2350 UTC: "Anybody Listening" by Queensryche (the pride of Bellevue, Washington!).

0302 UTC: Sitar and guitar song.
0303 UTC: YHWH theme "Days of Hard Life" or whatever it's called.
0305 UTC: "Vertigo" by John 5.
0308 UTC: Heavy metal-sounding guitar jamming.
0311 UTC: "Feisty Cadavers" by John 5, Shazam tells me. (Some stations prove to the hilt that you can hear ANYTHING on a pirate station.)
0313 UTC: Quick SSTV transmission - sounds like it got cut off.
0314 UTC: Sound clips about beer and alcohol, more jamming music, etc.

Listening via Northern Utah SDR, where the signal's loud and clear ...
0253 UTC: OM with intro to "Say I Am (What I Am)" by Tommy James & the Shondells.
0254 UTC: OM with clear WJAN ID, then into "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens.
Just checked, and this signal's coming in reasonably well to my own radio here near Seattle, though with some SSB distortion on the music.
0256 UTC: OM talking again into "A Groovy Kind of Love" by The Mindbenders.
0257 UTC: "We gotta cut outta here ..." after one last song, OM said before playing "Let It Out (Let it All Hang Out" by The Hombres.
0258 UTC: OM said "see y'all later" and off.
