0136 UTC Techno beat music then OM saying something about artificial intelligence, then back to the techno
(Signal is fading in and out with S6 peaks...nice clean audio)
0142 UTC Different techno music? OM speaking over the music...tough copy
0148 UTC Sycko Radio ID? Followed by vocal techno music (Nice S8 fade up for a minute or so)
0152 UTC Deep fade into the noise or OFF? ...something still there in the noise
0200 UTC Pop tune during solid fade-up
0201 UTC Mr Sycko chatting...."we got everything going on here"
0207 UTC Mr Sycko with shoutouts? Followed by a Pirate sounding tune
0213 UTC "For Your Love"-Yardbirds  8)
0215 UTC "Strange Brew"-Cream
0218 UTC Mr Sycko with "Oh Yeah", followed by "Suzi Q"-CCR
0223 UTC ID, followed by "Bad to the Bone"-George Thorogood
0226 UTC Deep fade into the noise again
0231 UTC Faded up nicely...."Can't You Hear Me Knockin"-Rolling Stones (Just in time for the classic Mick Taylor lead guitar solo!)
0236 UTC "Ooh That Smell"-Lynyrd Skynyrd (Bit of a fade near the end)
0243 UTC "Rebel Rebel"-David Bowie
0247 UTC Music right at the noise floor
0250 UTC Back up again with "Crossroads"-Cream
0255 UTC Mr Sycko on the microphone, but no luck with the copy, then big fade again
0259 UTC Back up a bit....think I heard something about "2 watts" (WOW!), followed by "Psychotic Reaction"-Count Five

S7 on my sdr here in Central Wisconsin. How many watts tonight, Sycko? Trouble clearly hearing your answer was it 2-2.5 Watts? Confirmed 2-2.5 Watts. Thanks. Transmitter sounding great when not fading below the noise, S7 peaks clear copy when below S5 into the noise here. Like to hear some transmitter details on air. Built it yourself, am I right? Solid state?

From a recording.  It never got above "faint carrier and faint, but unusable, audio" in Wyomissing.  Tuned in at 0229 and the carrier was gone at 0328.  About 16 dB above the background noise.
