ION Radio 6955 AM 1933 UTC 29 MAY 2023
« on: May 29, 2023, 1934 UTC »
1933 UTC Sounded like chimes, followed by a jazzy instrumental tune (S8 peaks with light fades and excellent audio)
1938 UTC YL with "India Oscar November" ID, followed by music, then a Ronald Reagan Russia joke
1940 UTC Unid OM with spoken word story...mention of "Morticia"...not sure what the story is about
1947 UTC Instrumental music riff, followed by ID by YL, then some jazzy psychedelic music with YL singer
1958 UTC YL with ID, followed by some ambient music, then OM DJ chatting...WLIK?
2000 UTC Unid jazzy mood music...nice melody!
2004 UTC Ambient psychedelic rock music (NICE!)
2015 YL with sign off announcement, then OFF

Without Shazam, I am totally clueless as to the song titles or artists...very melodic tunes!
