Tune-in at 0041 UTC (11/23) and I have electronic music, but the signal is pretty variable. Peaks to maybe S6 but mostly dwelling around S3, if that.

Arcade Fire "Reflektor" at 2129 UTC. Carrier is maybe an S5 but I'm really having a hard time pulling the audio out. It seems kind of low.

Very distorted audio and signal is S0 minus +120. Made out a "pip pip, cheerio" but then it took a huge S9 minus +280 fade on the ID and very distorted audio clearly heard.

Check eBay for FM band transmitters. If you can manage to filter out all of the VERY low power FM transmitters typically used for transmitting MP3 players, you'll find some probably-not-legal-but-hey-it's-eBay offerings around 1-10 watt. An example is this one which can transmit up to 6 watts:

I don't know anything about these, but transmitters like this are abundant on eBay. 6 watts, with a decent antenna, would certainly provide coverage of a few neighborhoods, depending on terrain and such.
It appears the 1 watt Veronica design is still on the market:

I HAVE used this transmitter (about 15 years ago, statute of limitations is way passed baby!) and it worked very well, if you can assemble and tune it up correctly. I ultimately had this transmitter working with a matching stereo generator board and an amplifier (maybe 30 watts total if I recall?) and it covered a large east coast city very well.

Huge S9+35 carrier popped up on 6925 KHz AM at 2354 UTC. Sounded like a microphone in a room with a TV on, possibly talk about baseball, but it was hard to tell. Off at 2355 UTC.
Edit: possibly Undercover Radio tune-up.
